'Battle Academy 2' Expands With 'Battle of Kursk' - Screens

In Battle Academy 2, players will be able to take command of Soviet and German forces at the tactical level. While this sequel includes everything from the original, it also introduces new features for a deeper and richer strategy experience.

Germany opens a new front in World War II with the launch of its ambitious military plan designed to lead its armies to Moscow. This was the starting point of a terrifying conflict that lasted almost 4 years and engaged millions of men, tanks, planes and weapons of all types.

With more than 130 units, a brand new skirmish mode, random map generator, 4 single players campaigns, versus and cooperative multiplayer modes and enhanced with new tactical tools, players are bound to fight some unforgettable battles in Mother Russia.

Players will be able to relive the key moments of this huge air-ground operation on the Eastern Front in Battle of Kursk, the first expansion of Battle Academy 2!

Summer 1943 – The Soviet and German High Commands gather their strength for what they both believe will be a decisive battle. The Wehrmacht wants to retake the initiative on a front that tends to bog down due to the fierce resistance of the Red Army. The two armies, resupplied and rearmed, are now ready in the neighborhood of Kursk for one of the largest armored clashes in history!

Following in the footsteps of the base game – which received an enthusiastic critical reception last year with a Metacritic score of 77% on PC and 80% on iPad – Battle of Kursk keeps the mechanics that made the series both approachable and very tactical while introducing new engaging elements. Along with a set of new units that bring diversity to the encounters, Battle of Kursk offers two campaigns with a carryover system. Often requested by the community, this carryover approach will allow the players to keep units from one scenario to another, forcing them to not be too fool-hardy in order to complete the campaigns!

In Battle of Kursk players will be able to fight with the German and Soviet armies at Prokhorovka and other famous Kursk locations on March 26th!


Key Features:

  • Control both the Axis and Soviet forces in more than 30 missions across 4 single player campaigns and corresponding multiplayer missions.
  • More than 130 units storm across the battlefield. Learn the hard lessons of the early war in Panzer III and BT-7, or feel the ground shake to fury of the Tiger, Panther, T-34 and IS-2.
  • New gameplay features include smoke, infantry dash, fighter cover, partial damage, and trenches – along with a detailed combat model that’s second-to-none.
  • The seamless multiplayer experience has been expanded with the addition of cooperative support – can you and a friend work together to defeat the enemy?
  • And already fearsome modding flexibility has been further expanded with editor improvements including automatic edging, achievement editor, and reinforcements. All atop a powerful scripting system giving complete control of all the game systems.
