Stalingrad Rubble Piles (BB238)

We've Updated Forces Of War...
Over the coming weeks we have a series of “quality of life” upgrades planned to further enhance Forces Of War. This week we are adding Command Cards! These will be accessible via a button at the bottom of Formation page, underneath Allied Support.
|
 |
|
Command Cards are priced at USD$3 per digital pack and this will open up all Command Cards including Unit and Formation Build cards. We’ve also added the 90th Light Formation to the DAK forces, as well as the Diana and 7.62cm Tank-Hunter Platoon to the Support options.
Click here to go to Forces Of War website...
|
 |
Moving forward we are planning on making some further enhancements to the Command Card section to make it easier to choose the right card for your units. Right now, you need to go into a card to remind yourself of what it is, but we are investigating options to make this simpler. We will also be replacing the “Return to Formation” button (inside the Command Cards section) with a “Return to Cards” button, just to make navigation a little more intuitive.
We will also be adding a text box to the platoons (and Command Cards) should you need to make notes about the unit. This will appear on your PDF so that you can check these notes in-game.

Due to unfortunate circumstances we’ve also had to change the initial production run of Dietrich’s Ghosts to use metal artillery crew for the 10.5cm guns, instead of the planned plastic crew. If you would prefer the plastic figures then please contact Customer Service and they will arrange replacement miniatures as soon as the plastic sprues arrive.

From Stalingrad to Kursk
Next month we will see Iron Cross and Enemy at the Gates hitting the shelves. These two books are the first half of the Eastern Front story for Mid War with the second pair of books (Ghost Panzers and Red Banner) to follow just before Christmas. When the team first started working on the Eastern Front books they already knew that there would be just too much content for one pair of books and this gave them a great opportunity to really organise the two in a way that would be exciting to players, as well as giving event organisers a powerful tool to theme events. In this article we will be exploring what this means for the future.
