"For the Motherland!"

Peter Stone has been running a World War 2 campaign set on the Eastern Front during the latter half of 2006, recreating Operation Barbarossa. This particular scenario recreates the late Summer counter-attack of Soviet 9^th and 19^th Mechanised Corps at the town of Brody, where German Army Group South had been experiencing slower progress forward than Group Centre or Group North (Stone, P 2006). 

Some pictures from the World War 2 game on display at NWA's Games 97; the club's annual public display day. This game was set in the Russian Front during 1943.

By 1943 the Russian Front was very fluid. Attacks and counter-attacks by both sides occurred as they vied for supremacy. By the end of 1943 the Russians were pushing back the German army almost everywhere.

These photos were taken at Games 97 by Stephen White and Chris Bridgland. 

On Friday 17 August, Nick Pavlovski had arranged with Peter Stone to have a game of Panzerfaust Iron Fist outside the period and sequence of the Eastern Front campaign they had been playing over the last 12 months. Nick had been playing Russians for the whole time so, for a bit of variety, opted to try the Germans for this game.

As it eventuated, that wasn't the only bit of variety they were to experience for the game.

Lorraine in France was the setting for one of the two games on display for World War 2 at NWA's Games 01; the club's annual public display day.
