About the Game:
Conflict of Heroes: Storms of Steel – Kursk 1943 places players at the centre of Operation Citadel, Germany's final major offensive on the Eastern Front. Following the defeat at Stalingrad, German armoured formations launched a massive assault against the Soviet defences around Kursk, only to encounter one of the most heavily prepared defensive systems of the war.
Unlike earlier Eastern Front battles, German tanks and anti-tank weapons could now destroy many Soviet vehicles at long range. Soviet commanders responded with overwhelming numbers, layered defensive positions, and determined counterattacks. Players must adapt to these changing battlefield conditions, using combined arms tactics to exploit opportunities while overcoming their opponent's strengths.
Each firefight focuses on platoon-sized engagements where every counter represents an infantry squad, crew-served weapon, or armoured vehicle. Rather than relying on complicated rules, the game encourages quick tactical decisions, careful positioning, and coordinated attacks as players compete to capture objectives and earn victory points.
The updated Third Edition also introduces beautifully redesigned maps, improved terrain overlays, new counters, and additional scenarios while maintaining the elegant rules system that has made the Conflict of Heroes series one of the most highly regarded tactical wargames available.
Whether fighting with elite German Panzer units or determined Soviet defenders, every battle offers fresh tactical challenges and excellent replayability.
