Conflict of Heroes: Storms of Steel – Kursk 1943. NAC WARGAMES

Year 1943. Storms of Steel makes you a participant in the largest tank battle in history.

After their painful defeat at Stalingrad, the Germans gathered their best forces for an all-out attack against the growing concentration of Soviet forces in Kursk. The Germans intended to destroy the Soviets once and for all. The Soviet spy network had caught wind of the German plans and was prepared to ambush and decimate the best armored forces the Germans could muster...

Storms of Steel covers one of the largest tank battles in history. The German Panzer and its anti-tank capability had devastated the Soviets, allowing the Germans to destroy most Soviet tanks from long range. However, the Soviets countered this advantage with mass production of tanks, which were thrown against the Germans in an attempt to overwhelm them.

The rules for Storms of Steel are the same as for other games in the series, but the battles are very different. In "The Bear Awakens," the Germans had to flank and get close to Soviet tanks to have any chance of penetrating the T-34's heavy armor. But by 1943, in the Battle of Kursk, most Soviet tank armor could be penetrated by the Germans from long range. Things have changed, and players must employ very different tactics.

Storms of Steel also uses map terrain overlays (like in Guadalcanal), produced in the same high-quality format as the maps themselves. These overlays allow players to enrich each engagement they play.

In Conflict of Heroes, you command forces at the Section and Company level, facing the same tactical dilemmas and decisions that commanders confronted during some of the most brutal historical battles of World War II.
