As the ground hardened after the muddy Russian Spring, the German army prepared to launch their summer offensive, codenamed Operation Citadel. The target was Kursk, a city in the centre of a huge bulge in the front line, where several Soviet armies could be cut off and destroyed. To ensure success, new weapons were rushed to the front, including Panther tanks. These were combined with several panzer divisions, totalling an impressive 2450 tanks. Over 3600 Soviet tanks were waiting for them, setting the scene for the largest tank battle on the Eastern Front.
Kursk is the ultimate Mid-War starter set featuring tank battles and contains a Complete A5 Rulebook, as well as an German Army (Panzer IV HQ, a Tank Platoon featuring Panzer III and Panzer IV tanks, a Panther Tank Platoon and a Tiger Platoon ) and the Soviet Army (1 T-34 HQ, 2 T-34 Tank Platoons, a Valentine Tank Platoon and a SU-85 Tank Destroyer Platoon).
