CLASH
OF TITANS
The Tank Battle for Kursk,
1943
It is the summer of 1943 and the fate of the Russo-German
War - the largest land conflict of the Second World War - hangs
in the balance. A decisive victory for either side means a profound
change in the course of the war.
Clash of Titans: The Tank Battle for Kursk, 1943 is an
operational simulation of the battle for Kursk which took place
during July 1943. On 5 July 1943 the Wehrmacht attacked with
435,000 men in fifty divisions and 2,700 tanks and assault guns
(including the new Panther and Ferdinand types).
The Red Army was able to field 1,550,000 soldiers and 4,800 armored
vehicles for this battle of titanic proportions. Operation Zitadelle
had begun... Clash of Titans comes with two more scenarios,
one featuring a hypothetical early German attack in May (favored
by some German generals), the other simulating the historical
Soviet summer counteroffensive in August. One side represents
the German forces of 9th Army, 2nd Army, 4th Panzer Army, and
Armeeabteilung Kempf while the other side controls the Red Army
forces of Southwest Front, Voronezh Front, Central Front, Bryansk
Front, West Front, and Steppe Front. It uses the highly popular
Ring of Fire /Eastwall game system and is suitable for
two or more players or solitaire play.
