Prochorovka: Armor at Kursk is a board wargame published by Task Force Games in 1979 that simulates the 1943 Battle of Prokhorovka, in which the German 2nd SS Panzer Korps met the Soviet 5th Guards Tank Army in the largest tank battle of the Second World War. It is a microgame packaged in a ziplock bag with a 14 page rulebook, 108 counters, a set-up card and a two-color hex map scaled at 400 metres per hex. It was designed by Stephen V. Cole and was the fifth game released by Task Force. Each turn represents one hour, players roll for initiative in each of three sectors, and victory points come from terrain gained and from destroying tanks and artillery. Later in 1979 it was reissued as a boxed set titled simply Armor at Kursk.
