Begin play almost immediately! The new Combat! QUICK START gets you up and running fast. The flow of the action is built around the acclaimed free-form IMPULSE system. The new edition of the rules builds in more ease-of-play to the system to move things along with more action...and intensity...than before. Move that Tiger through that field of grain, or fire off your 88mm gun...or bring down the Stukas...in the order you choose using our enjoyable and exciting impulse system.

The Firepower Factors Table has been improved, and the entire ordnance High Explosive presentation changed to what is perhaps the most streamlined ever. The DFET (Direct Fire Effects Tables) also receive a new treatment, with DFET and HE now working together hand-in-glove.

The flow of the action is still built around the acclaimed free-form IMPULSE system. And other systems have been streamlined to move things along with more action...and intensity...than before.

The scenarios are now presented on a single sheet of coated heavyweight card each. The actions are the ultimate in detail, right down to the individual MG 34 crew and Russian Molotov Cocktail.

COMBAT! KURSK is shipping as a premium BOXED title and we've added the new TEC version 1.2 into the game.

COMBAT! KURSK allows you to recreate the Battle of Kursk on a tactical level like no other game. The game brings you to the bank of the River Psel, where a crossing by the 3rd SS Panzergrenadier Division ‘Totenkopf’ drew an immediate—and massive—reaction from the Soviet 5th Guards Tank Army. The result was a titanic clash along the Psel that saw Pzkw VIE ‘Tiger’ tanks crisscrossing the legendary steppe in mortal combat with hordes of T-34 tanks. The Germans reached the dominating terrain of Hill 226.6, overlooking the Oboyan-Prokhorovka Highway, only to be attacked by wave after wave of Soviet tanks. The Germans were soon caught up in a savage battle to hold the perimeter around their pontoon bridge over the Psel. With the German spearhead attacked at its base, further advance in the Battle of Kursk came to an end for SSTK.

COMBAT! KURSK delivers some of the most awesome weapons systems of World War II to the enthusiast of the system, including the Pzkw VIE ‘Tiger’ tank and the legendary 88mm dual-purpose gun.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO PLAY IS INCLUDED, just bring your own set of two 10-sided dice. In each COMBAT! KURSK game you receive 680 color die-cut counters depicting the men and machines that took part in the battle. You also receive six scenarios and two Campaign Games, each printed on attractive, heavyweight, coated cards. Two Campaign Roster play aids and an 8” x 14” Map Sector play aid are also provided on heavyweight coated cards. A 22” x 34” color map of the battlefield, covering the villages of Krasny-Oktabyr and Kliuchi, along the Psel to the Oboyan-Prokhorovka Highway, with all the crucial heights and woods covered terrain in between. You also receive version 4.0 of the Combat! Game System rulebook and three new generation play aids.

6 NEW SCENARIOS including:

One tactical dilemma after another to play out a Kursk battlefield...

The above example, set on the Combat! Kursk map is the kind of dilemma you'll face. Would you rather have two Tigers, sitting out in the open? Or would you rather have the two T34's in the open, combined with the one T34 on the brush covered hillock, joined by the SU122, also sitting on a brush covered hillock?

Above is the Sector Map play aid included in the game for use with the two campaigns provided. You use your nationality control markers to track your progress on this play aid. Each irregular sector is created around a key terrain feature. Sector 15 is an immense field of grain. Sector 6, a hollow. Sector 7 is dominated by a brush covered hillock.
