I'm personally no too interested in the Eastern Front, but I'm sure that will make a lot of players very, very happy

Gosh they do just copy us...

What can we expect from the supplement?

T-34s and KVs are pretty much guaranteed (oh boy...). The Soviet and German units in late 1941 will finally get lists. And there's a good chance that we'll finally see Hungarian and Romanian lists for Early War.



Who wants to run R35s against T-34s?





Edit -

Still up for pre-order, I note?



On a more serious note, is PSC likely to start listing prices in international currencies?

Nope was released at Salute in April...

Dunno why they still have that up.

We only do two books a year so always manage to have them out on time.



Funny though.... we release Fall of the Reich, later Remegan pops out, now Barbarossa follows our release of it.

Shouldn't be too surprising. Barbarossa was originally announced as a spring release and then pulled back off the release schedule to make room for the Great War release. Remagan is just following the progression of books in the time line. Just like Berlin should be in the next couple of late war books released.

Nice. I'm only surprised it's taken them so long to finally get round to Barbarossa.

Should be affordable to with lots of cheap Zvezda tanks to fill out the ranks.

What I was going for was can we expect any new units, tanks or planes?

Maybe a Pe-2 for the Soviets? It was introduced in 41 and I think was the highest production twin engine plane of the war. One would think it would show up in the Soviet list.

Maybe T-37/T-38s? Odd amphibious scout tanks seems like the thing BF would put out there and I think it was a fair part of early Soviet tank doctrine.

The German side I think is already fairly fleshed out. All of thier real inovation came after the early stages of Barbarosa in reaction to what they were facing. I would think most of thiers would be in formation and selection rather than unit type.

Wait.there was that early German heavy that they sent three to Norway. If Norway is in this book (and I think it would be) then I would expect that thing in there. Three total in theater is exactly the type of odd thing BF loves to put out there. Neubaufahrzeg or something like that is what it was called, I think.

Neubaufahrzeug

That's it.

Also, the only surviving pieces.

Well, Remegan had been planned for a while. And it's the second book in that series (the first being Desperate Measures). Of course, given how many times Barbarossa has been delayed (iirc my original thought on it had been that it was coming out two years ago), I'm not going to put it out of the realm of possibility that the release of the Battlegroup book finally spurred Battlefront to get their own Barbarossa book out.

Well as long as it gets 15mm gamers more models... who cares!

Players of both games benefit... well apart from me as I play in 20mm!

A little more info...

indeed! FOW convinced me to buy my 15mm Soviet force.. Battlegroup being playable with the same mini's is what convinced me to give it a go and its been awesome. I love having figures that play equally well for both games. Tho your 20mm painted figures really do have me twitching to buy a different nations force in 1/72..but I must resist the Dark Side.. *twitch* British North Africa*twitch* must resist 20mm *twitch*

Battlefront to release Operation Barbarrosa THIS YEAR!
Big Fu#$ing deal,A little late.
