Steel Fury Kharkov 1943 is a tank simulation based on real life events that took place between May 12th to 28th 1942.
This game does require to be purchased however finding a boxed copy on ebay might be the cheapest way to get this game. There is a copy being sold on GamersGate that seems to be a reasonable deal.
Once you have installed the game you will require the JSGME to install mods.
Here is a good starting place - SF1942 FAQ
Here are the mods in installation order I use: in JSGME
SSM 2.7 - Steel Sound Mod
STA 1.2 - Steel Tank Addon
STA_GMP 1.50 - Game Mission Pack 1
STA_GMP 2.41 - Game Mission Pack 2
STA GMP 3.35 - Game Mission Pack 3
STA GMP 4.16 - Game Mission Pack 4
Its worth nothing I have STA 2.3 because I have donated to support the forums and I have been granted access to the latest version. STA 1.2 is the latest free version and its perfectly good.
There are other location / weather / missions etc that you can add into JSGME to enrich your Steel Fury gameplay
Have Fun!
