Band of Brothers: Stalin's Favorite:  Click Here for the Kickstarter Promo Page

The Band of Brothers series is headed back to the East Front for the second half of the war.  Refight the battles of the 2nd Guards Tank Army, "Stalin's Favorite". In the campaign season of 1943 the unit was fought in the battles at Sevsk and Kursk. 

In 1944, the 2nd was key to stopping the German III Panzerkorps as they fought to save German units trapped in the Cherkassy pocket.  Later in 1944 they raided deep into Uman and lead the way crossing the Romanian border.

Going into 1945 the unit was considered elite and it's tanks were some of the first to go into Berlin.

It is the only Soviet Tank Army of the war that still exists today, now named 2nd Guards Army.
Stalin's Favorite will include 16 new scenarios from 1943-1945.



Iwo Jima 1945:  CLICK HERE FOR THE PROMO PAGE
 

On February 19, 1945 the USMC would land 30,000 marines on the island against a Japanese defensive force that numbered roughly 21,000 Japanese soldiers.  Facing a Japanese commander who had learned valuable lessons from the losses on other Japanese islands, the USMC would eventually land over 70,000 marines and suffer over 25,000 casualties during the 36 day campaign. 

You, as the player will command the USMC invasion of Iwo Jima, while the game system, driven by cards, will control the Japanese defenders.   

If you have played Tarawa 1943 before then you will be familiar with the system and play.  Almost all other rules are the same and you can begin play with just a brief reading of the rules.
