When that white-knuckle struggle finally subsided in March, both sides were too exhausted for decisive strategic action. The Soviets, anticipating a German attack in this direction, turned to defensive preparations and a build-up of mechanized troops, artillery shells, and strategic reserves. By July, they were ready to meet the vaunted German panzers head-on.
Kursk DLC covers not only the legendary tank engagements such as Prokhorovka, Kutuzov, and Ruymantsev, but it also dives deep into lesser-known battles of the 1943 Soviet campaign. Battles on the Mius, around Smolensk, and along the Black Sea coast are all featured, ending in a string of do-or-die actions to reach the Dnieper crossings.
