Battle Academy 2: Battle of Kursk (PC) Steam Key Global

In the summer of 1943 both Soviet and German High Commands gathered their strength for what they both believed would be a decisive battle. The Germans assembled their most powerful divisions, freshly equipped with the latest equipment, to attack the north and south flanks of the salient around the city of Kursk. The Soviets, having deduced the German plan, cram their forces into the bulge, creating layer after layer of defensive positions to stop the German panzers in their tracks. Two titanic armies meet head on in the golden cornfields of Russia.
