1C released the public demo for
Theatre of War 2: Kursk 1943. It's available now (
full list of mirrors here) and weighs in at about 700MB. Kursk 1943 might be difficult for a casual fan of the genre to appreciate, but that's why a demo is beneficial.
Take a few moments to download it and give it a try. The demo includes the tutorial, two full missions (one each playable as Germans and Soviets), and limited functionality of the mission generator. I've spent a few hours with
Theatre of War 2: Kursk 1943 already and am glad to see players getting the opportunity to take it for a test drive.
