Kursk: The Biggest Tank Battle
$3.99About Kursk: The Biggest Tank Battle
Conflicts: Kursk - The Biggest Tank Battle is a turn based strategy game set on the Eastern Front during the Second World War.
Historical background: In 1943 Germans hoped to shorten the Russian front by eliminating the Kursk Salient, which had been created in the aftermath of the Battle of Stalingrad. Wehrmacht, focusing majority of their elite divisions on the Eastern Front on this relatively small area, envisioned Panzer spearheads breaking through northern and southern flanks of the salient to encircle the Red Army forces. However, the Soviets had excellent intelligence of the German plan, called Operation Citadel. This, and German delays in waiting for new weapons, the Tiger heavy tank and the Panther medium tank, gave the Red Army time to construct a series of defensive lines and gather large reserve forces. This huge concentration of armed forces on both sides led into the biggest tank battle of history on the outskirts of Prokhorovka on 12 July 1943. The question "could German Army have succeeded in this offensive", was kind of left unanswered, as Allied landing in Sicily and the Soviet offensives elsewhere on the Eastern Front pressured Hitler to abort the Operation Citadel only after 10 days.
FEATURES:
+ Historical accuracy: Campaign mirrors the historical setup on divisional level.
+ Long-lasting: Thanks to in-built variation and the game's smart AI technology, each game provides a unique war gaming experience.
+ Competitive: Measure your strategy game skills against others fighting for the Hall of Fame top spots.
+ Supports casual play: Easy to pick up, leave off, continue later.
+ Challenging: Crush your enemy quickly and earn the bragging rights on the forum.
+ Experienced units learn new skills, like improved attack or defense performance, extra move points, damage resistance, ability to hold their ground after a lost battle, etc.
+ Good AI: Instead of just attacking on direct line towards the target, the AI opponent balances between strategic goals and smaller tasks like encircling nearby units.
+ Settings: Various options are available to alter the look of the gaming experience: Change difficulty level, hexagon size, Animation speed, choose icon set for units (NATO or REAL) and cities (Round, Shield, Square, block of houses), decide what is drawn on the map, and much more.
In order to be a victorious general, you must learn to coordinate your attacks in two ways. First, as adjacent units give support to an attacking unit, keep your units in groups in order to gain local superiority. Secondly, it is rarely the best idea to use brute force when it is possible to encircle the enemy and cut off its supply lines instead.
No risk: If you want to test the mechanics of this WW2 game, there is a free 15-turn version available for free at http://bit.ly/1lKuBbY

Conflict-Series has offered highly rated Android-only strategy games since 2011. The campaigns are based on the time-tested gaming elements TBS (turn-based strategy) enthusiasts are familiar with from both the classic PC war games and legendary tabletop board games. I also want to thank the fans for all the well thought-out suggestions over the years which have allowed these campaigns to improve at a much higher rate than what any indie developer could dream of. if you have feedback about the Conflict-Series please use email, this way we can have a constructive back and forth conversion without all the limits of the store's comment system. In addition, because I have huge number of projects on multiple stores, it’s just not very sensible to spend handful of hours each day going through hundreds of pages spread all over the Internet to see if somebody has posted a question somewhere -- just send me an email and I will answer to it as soon as I'm online. Thanks for understanding!

Best game Joni has made so far in my opinion. Challenging but doable. Had to play several times before I got what I considered to be a respectable score. I own about 15 game from the Conflict series so far. This is the one I go back to on a consistent basis.

I love the conflict series games. The best turn based strategy game i've found. Have bought like 5 now & every one has been worth the $. Only probs i have are accidentally moving units when scrolling screen & would be cool if after beating an enemy unit if we had the choice of taking that space or staying put in space i was attacking from. Great game overall!

An enjoyable challenge, which you can keep improving on your performance. Fatigue, leadership, support adds to the fun/challenge. Simple one handed play that you can leave and return at will. Worth every cent. Thanks for the game.

Ready to try your hand at armor tactics? Use the options to create your prefect gameboard, then have at it. A serious challenge, but as always, if you prefer a lighter version, just do it. Another terrific creation, I truly can't say enough about the benefits of each of the Conflict Series games. Thanks for a consistently tremendous experience.

It would have been better if it were artillery units instead of generals. Manstein was the CO of army group south. Its ashame that he can only command 5 to 6 divs on this game

Another great game and although I appreciate the "extra time" to achieve victory, Hitler kind of "pulled-the-plug" on this one, so a time limited scenario would be more accurate.

I've played and purchased every one of the Conflict titles. Which may explain my waning enthusiasm for the series. This one is uniformly perfect, but honestly another wwii Eastern Front land campaign just doesn't light me up anymore. Not much distinguishes this from,say, Panzer Missions (maybe my favorite of the wwii titles). I've always kind of felt like this was an historically overblown battle because of the sheer numbers involved. Hitler bailed on this cauldron fight really early....Pacific! Naval!
