Dark July - The Battles for Prochorovka (2nd Edition)

Dark July depicts the battles fought west of Prochorovka between 10-12 July, 1943. The map/s covers the famed Hill 252.2, the Soviet trenchs to the east, and the Oktiabrski State Farm to the north. We won't make grandiose claims about their meter-to-meter accuracy, but believe they faithfully replicate the two kilometer by one kilometer rectangle.

The 22" x 34" map contains all the detail and beauty gamers have come to expect from Lock 'n Load Publishing. From the lengthy anti-tank ditch to the State Farm, its as nice to look at as it is fun to play on. Dark July includes new rules for anti-tank mines, low wheat, and much more.

Dark July is not a complete game. This is an expansion and requires Band of Heroes and Not One Step Back to play all six of its scenarios.
