About the game
Nations war: Stalin’s Triumph takes fans of the Nations at War system (White Star Rising and Operation Cobra) to World War II’s Eastern Front!

Centered on the area of Kursk in 1943, Stalin’s Triumph contains 16 scenarios depicting the fighting in and around the northern and southern flanks of the battle. Stalin’s Triumph includes three counter sheets full of the vehicles, men and weapons of the Soviet and German armies that fought in and around the area of Kursk in the summer of 1943. The game includes Soviet units such as the famed animal killer, the SU-152, and the workhorse of the Soviet Army, the T-34. For Germany, there’s a wide array of hardware such as Tigers and Mk IVs, but also unique vehicles such as the Flamepanzer and the dreaded Ferdinand.
