Conflict of Heroes: Storms of Steel – Kursk 1943 (Third Edition)

A platoon-level hex-and-counter tactical war game that recreates the 1943 armored clash on the Eastern Front. Players command squads, crewed guns and vehicles across detailed maps, maneuvering forces, allocating firepower and securing objectives worth victory points. Combat emphasizes ranged tank engagements and combined arms: German panzers and AT weapons can engage Soviet armor at distance, while Soviet forces leverage massed tank formations and infantry to contest terrain and objectives. Scenarios use the Conflict of Heroes core ruleset and present varied firefights with different goals, making tactical planning, movement economy and fire allocation central to play.
