Theatre of War 2: Kursk 1943, the historically accurate and detailed
real-time tactical war game, welcomes military history fans to the battle
which gave the Red Army the strategic initiative for the rest of the war.
The new project in the award-winning Theatre of War series depicts the
initial (defensive) stage of the Kursk battle.
Assuming the role of either the Russian or German battle group commander,
acting under direct orders of division commanders Ivan Chistyakov or Valter
Hoernlein, players will control their troops in historical scenarios on
precisely reconstructed authentic battlefields.

salient.
