Stepping Up To Version Three
With the arrival of Version 3, lots of existing players are asking the obvious question: ‘What’s changed?’. To answer this question, I’ve written this document as a quick summary of the changes between the old and new versions. It is aimed squarely at existing gamers, so it doesn’t make any attempt to explain how the existing rules work. Rather it focuses on what has changed.

Minsk Offensive Part Three:
Painting An Army
When I started planning a 6000 models per side Total War battle I decided to add 2000 points to my Soviet Army. I had a Tankovy Battalion and half an IS-2 regiment but this time I would be adding an Udarny Battalion with no less than 20 artillery pieces, 4 assault guns, 4 machine-guns and 55 infantry teams.

45mm obr 1942 Nests (SBX16)
An unusual type of Soviet infantry formation was the Fortified Region (Ukreplennye Raiony). These infantry units were designed to man fortified lines such as the Stalin Line. Each Fortified Region was essentially a regiment or brigade strength unit made up of a number of Machine-gun Artillery Battalions (Pulyemyetno-Artillyeriyskiy Batalon). An important part of these positions were the anti-tank guns used to back up the machine gunners.

T-34/76 Turret Bunker (GE682)
After invading the Soviet Union, the Germans were keen to make use of the spoils of war left behind by the Red Army. Thousands of Soviet tanks littered the battlefield during the summer of 1941 and the Germans were keen to salvage whatever they could; however, many of these tanks proved beyond repair.

Heavy Mortar Platoon (HU711)
During the fighting on the Don in 1942 the Hungarian were able to capture a number of 120mm Soviet mortars. The Hungarians were impressed with this weapon and similar mortars used by the Germans. They soon began to make their own, giving their infantry added heavy support in the front line.

French Artillery Group (FRO110)
The French artillery arm is the pinnacle of military technology. When an observer places a request for fire, the artillery battalion's poste central du groupe, its fire direction centre, assigns all available artillery batteries to fire the mission. This way the artillery's resources are used in the most efficient manner. For this to work all request must go through the proper channels with trained officers directing the fire.
