Description:

Tank Battle: East Front 1943 is the third in the successful 'Tank Battle: East Front' series of games for iPhone and iPad, a game of tactical combat on the Russian Front during 1943. Fight as the Germans or the Soviets in a series of ever more complex missions.1943 was the year of the great tanks battles of World War Two. The Soviet forces are no longer retreating and are now able to go head to head with the German panzers armies in open battle. The Germans, responding to their shock on facing the impressive Soviet T-34, field their 'super weapons' with the Tiger Tank appearing in increasing numbers, and by June the deadly Panther Tank.

Missions vary from straightforward wipe out the enemy missions, to capture key objectives, to protect vital supply convoys. There is a whole range of missions to reflect the tactical complexity on warfare on the Eastern Front.

The game system is based on, and a major upgrade of, the successful game engine developed for 'Tank Battle: North Africa'. Tank Battle: 1941 (https://www.hexwar.com/secure/games/tank-battle-east-front-1941/default.aspx) and Tank Battle: 1942 (https://www.hexwar.com/secure/games/tank-battle-east-front-1942/default.aspx) are already available from the App Store.

More Tank Battle: East Front missions will follow with the release of Tank Battle: East Front 1944 and 1945 in the coming weeks.

How are these games different from Panzer General/Panzer Corps?

They are smaller in scale of maps, a bit faster paced, on the other hand also higher graphics, animated 3D units, more a beer and pretzel game for on the go, but fun, faster game-play and have 2 against 2, you can play from both sides, still enough depth and also playable on the iPhone as iPad.
