Theatre of War 2: Kursk 1943 public demo is available for download

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 Walter Hoernlein, players will control their troops in historical scenarios on precisely reconstructed authentic battlefields. In Theatre of War 2: Kursk 1943, you control the units of the battle group belonging to German division Grossdeutschland or the forces of the Soviet 67th Guards Rifle Division and 3rd Mechanized Corps, which participated in the defensive stage of the Kursk battle at the south face of the Kursk salient.

Theatre of War 2: Kursk 1943 demo features:

- Tutorial
- Soviet mission Southern part of Verkhopenye
- German mission Assault on Syrtsev
- Mission generator with limited functionality (one map, limited number of available troops)
