About Third Kharkov Battle turnlimit
This is turn-limited version of Third Battle of Kharkov, which takes place on WWII Eastern Front in 1943. A massive Red Army offensive threatens to collapse the entire German front, can you turn the dangerous situation around?
After destroying the German 6th Army in Stalingrad, the Soviet high command hopes to end the entire World War II in one decisive strike. Russian plan, called Operation Star, aims to break through the thinly manned Axis lines towards Dnepropetvosk via Kharkov to cut off over 1 million German soldiers located on the southern part of the Eastern Front. Panicking German Generals across the Third Reich desperately try to find men to throw in front of the Soviet offensive to stop it. However, in a masterclass of strategy forever known in military history as Backhand Blow, Erich von Manstein, who is in charge of Army Group South, shockingly removes all Panzer and Waffen-SS divisions from the crumpling battleground and wishes the attacking Red Army ‘bon voyage’. While hopeful Stalin keeps phoning the Soviet commanders daily about the success of the attack, the looming encirclement of epic proportions, and the imminent end of the war, Manstein is gathering huge Panzer groups on both flanks of the Red Army offensive. When those Panzers Corps are finally unleashed, they annihilate the overstretched attacking Soviet armies, swiftly retake Kharkov, and turn the whole situation upside down, forcing Soviet commanders to throw every unit available in front of the advancing Wehrmacht to prevent collapse. Do you have what it takes to switch the situation from the looming collapse to stunning victory?

User reviews
Another great game from the master of "old school" games. Joni Nuutinen is the gamers gamer. These games harken back to the hey-day of SPI and Avalon Hill. Well done.
Great series. Mansteins "Backhand Blow" as only Mr. Nuutinen can do it. Brilliant. The only one better is "PanzerKrieg" from years ago. Good luck in finding a copy. Love this series. Takes one back to the "golden age" of board games only better cause you don't need an opponent.
tough game but thoroughly enjoyable, yet another great game in the conflicts series. keep it up.
You make the best historical war games out there!
Excellent
Its get better and better.keep up the good work
