Battle Tank: Kursk to Berlin

Game cover: Battle Tank: Kursk to Berlin

Description

Battle Tank: Kursk to Berlin is a computer wargame for multiple systems, covering the events of the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany in World War II, starting from the Battle of Kursk in July 1943 to the fall of Berlin in May 1945.

Players can control the German and/or the Soviet sides, or the computer can take on one or both roles. The game is text-only, and came with a board and physical pieces to allow the player to keep track of the location of theirs and enemy units. There are a total of eight scenarios to choose from, and the player can also create custom scenarios. The player takes on the role of scenario commander, and issues orders to different units. Groupings may or may not follow commands, and messages and reporting may become skewed to represent fog of war.

The player receives a limited weather report each turn, and game play progresses in one hour segments. Each turn units can report in to give their current condition. Every hour, the player can either request a general report or give orders to groupings. General report provides the current location of each company, and their current level of engagement. Individual groupings can be ordered to report, move, advance, attack, retreat, screen, hold, or special orders.
