Found this game among the discounts, first decided to take 3 but did not (it hurts a lot of complaints about bugs and shortcomings).
In General not regretted, the game is pretty good in it is: realism, a lot of techniques ranging from machine guns to Jeeps, beautiful and not the smallest cards, also the game is similar to Total War (here is the generator of missions straight 1 in 1, and the choice of troops in general silent) that Pleased.
Pity in Multiplayer no one plays (if anyone wants to arrange the zarbu that add), also (STRONGLY) grieved The fact that you can not change the resolution of the screen, it is very small.
Still having problems with management for a long time could not get used to (can I 1 such?).
Well put the game 8/10, would be multiplayer alive it would be 9/10.
If you liked the Men of war, you can and take this game it is similar and the price is normal.

TL; DR: In the Beginning I hated it, but now I like it quite well! You really have to be able to work your way in and get into it, then you are rewarded with a Level Of Detail that has it all!
Pro: + High Degree of Realism + Attention To detail + sounds go OK + Strategically demanding + mission And Maypgenerator + Strong Simulation counter:-Graphics good but old baked-No Background music-Miserable finding The way Of the K.I.-Brutal Framerate collapses
Conclusion: A very successful Game. You have the most Fun when all the Orders have been given and you just enjoy the Battle up close. Then you notice details such as bounced Chains, Carabiners perusing Soldiers or the modeled Interiors of destroyed Tanks. More love for Detail can hardly be found in any other strategy game. However, the Frame rate and the lack of musical Accompaniment Annoy. For €9.99€ I can't really recommend ToW: Kursk 1943, but if it's contained in The Steamsale or a Bundle I would strike without Hesitation again!

Good game! If you are not a fan of tank fighting in the Usoda, as it is implemented in Blitzkrieg Koch... Then you will find space maps and close to reality range of fire guns.
Despite the fact that the game is quite a bit, it supports my 2k monitor and gives out 144 hertz!
With Love worked out technique. Rollers are spinning, the goats are funny, the planes are flying in the air and working in pairs.
This game is like a sophisticated Soviet designer. Yes, it is rather not easy to understand, but realizing as here and what works, you get the real pleasure.
A Couple of tips:-Save F5.
-M Open the map and set the mortar sector for firing, holding the attack button and selecting the zone.
-All the offensive and retreat do through the button "assault" and retreat. So The tanks will start to move and more competently choose the target.
-Anti-tank Arte also distribute the sector, if you do not like where it takes.
-Be Careful with the Copanias for the cannons. If the muzzle has remained in brusfer, then to thaw it, differently from a volley will kill Jekipah guns.
The Game is good, it is a pity that such no longer do. Nugget in the world of casual.
