The Soviet casualties pack offers some new miniatures to add to any other Soviet company to make your bases come alive with action.

Originally, these figures were designed to add flavour to the massive Shtraf companies. Casey’s Shtraf battalion project uses these figures in his first company to represent heavy casualties as it charges towards the objective!




These have long been a dream for Casey, an avid Soviet player, who wanted to be able to model his tide of men both advancing and in the slightly more gruesome, no matter how realistic, posed as dead and wounded. Soviet casualties can also add a bit of realism to German teams, objectives, and terrain.


The pack includes 11 individually sculpted casualties with 22 figures in total.

Stalin’s Onslaught has introduced players to the world of massive artillery bombardments. These terrifying deluges of hot steel will wreck the enemy’s defences and prepare the way for you assaults. Alternatively, you could use a Devastating Bombardment defensively, breaking up the enemy troops as they try to assault your positions.

It will be very hard for your opponent to hide from a full 12”/30cm square template!

The Devastating Bombardment Template can currently be used by all armies as long as you have something that fires a template! We have cunningly designed it so that you have a regular sized template in the middle, so that you can carefully position it over the enemies troops without touching them. This also allows you to show your opponent just how many of their figures are under it!

Additionally you now no-longer need to worry about trying to put two regular templates together when you have 8 or more guns firing as the template also has the markings for a double-width Artillery bombardment.

The Devastating Bombardment Template can also be used with the Soviet Katyusha Rocket Battalion or the German Armoured Rocket Launcher Battery equipped with Panzerwerfer 42 rocket launchers. You will need 14 or more guns firing in your bombardment to take advantage of the Devastating Bombardment template.

T-34 obr 1942 is the first of our boxes, they are aimed at making it easier to collect your Flames of War forces.

Each box contains a complete unit that, once painted, is ready to take to the field of battle.

The first of these is the T-34 obr 1942, the most numerous of the T-34 variants.


You may have noticed we have made a slight change in how we refer to the T-34s, so you may remember our old version of this tank as the obr 1943. More recent research based on Russian sources has led to the change.

The T-34 obr 1942 was the workhorse of the Red Army throughout the war. While outclassed with its 76mm main gun, it is still a viable support tank—flanking at high speed, blasting enemy gun pits and generally harassing enemy tanks. They’re often found with the Guards mechanised units as a reliable tank, used to exploit through gaps in the enemy line. The remaining tanks and infantry would follow-up and secure the opening for the remaining Red Army units.

What do You Get?

The tanks inside have been individually sculpted with a great array of stowage, giving each tank its own character. And they look fantastic! (see below for more information)

The box is packed full of goodies, five individually sculpted T-34s, decals, and mounted tank crew.

Inside you will find the commander’s cupola (installed on tanks from late 1943 on), some spare tracks and a few extra fuel barrels for your T-34 obr 1942.


Also included is the OT-34 flame tanks flame nozzle, which fits in the hull machine-gun port.

You will also get a sheet of our new Soviet decals. The sheet contains red stars, slogans and unit numbers (right).

The box also includes ten magnets so that you can magnatise your turrets, keeping them safe from harm.

The SU 57 Assault gun was the combination of the US M3 Halftrack and the M1 57mm gun. The Soviet Union received 650 lend-lease vehicles from the USA. It was popular due to familiarity with the same gun from their Valentine tanks.

Four SU Brigades were equipped with the SU 57: the 14th, 16th, 19th and 22nd SU Brigades. These were given SU 57 vehicles in February 1944 and all saw action in the Ukraine starting in mid-1944. They took part at the liberation of Romania in August 1944.

In Flames Of War

The SU 57 is a fast, hard-hitting tank destroyer. Its light and mobile. Its gun, while slightly out classed by enemy armour, is still deadly when it manages to flank its opponent. The SU 57 has frontal armour of 1 and side and top of 0. The 57mm gun has a ROF of 3, anti-tank of 10 and Firepower of 4+.

The 15cm siG33 gun has been a reliable infantry gun for many years, and it will continue to lend its devastating fire support to our troops!

The gun entered service in 1933 and proved valuable in the early months of the war. The 15cm artillery could be used to clear enemy bunkers and trenches. It was particularly efficient at levelling enemy occupied buildings, making it a great asset to urban pacification.

The 15cm siG33 infantry gun is a powerful addition to German infantry companies. With Anti-tank 13 and Firepower 1+, it will devestate hapless enemy tanks. It it also a Bunker Buster and will help clear enemy bunkers and fortified buildings. The gun can also deliver a template that will inflict an Anti-tank 4, Firepower 2+ bombardment.

The Allies are catching up to our technology with their heavy tanks! No problem, however, we now have the new powerful Jagdpanther!

This tank hunter was equipped with the deadly 8.8 PaK43 gun, able to destroy any Allied tank. It has been bolstered with thick frontal armour—a radical departure from the other tank hunters in the German arsenal.

The Jagdpanther was issued in small numbers to the Normandy battles, and they began to see wider service as the year progressed.

The resin building included in the Jadgpanther box will not only give you another great piece of scenery to add to your collection, but is the perfect size for you to hide your ambushing Jadgpanther in!

The heavy tanks of the Soviet Union will crush all opposition under their treads. They will not stop for anything until final victory is achieved over the fascist scum!

The IS-2 heavy tank was designed to replace the aging KV tanks as the Guards heavy breakthrough units. It was equipped with the massive D25-T 122mm gun for hunting the enemy heavy tanks. With 120mm armour on the front and 90mm on the side, the tank was well protected for duty on the eastern front.

The IS-2 first saw action in the Spring of 1944. IS-2 units were assigned to important operations and often led the initial assaults as they did in Operation Bagration in June 1944. There were 21 tanks in the regiment leading the shock armies of the Soviet Union into battle

SPECIAL OFFER!

If you have previously purchased a copy of Festung Europa you can select any western front divisional book to take with you absolutely free when you buy a copy of Fortress Europe!

Fortress Europe contains the core forces that were in Festung Europa, but they have been given the modern equivalent of a makeover to bring them to that same standard as our current books.

The first major change is the organisation diagrams for choosing your company have been changed to the new style.

The second major change is the addition of new units that have appeared in all the handbooks from the last two years in their relative places. Now all the forces can use the new equipment, not just the divisions covered in the handbooks.

The last major difference is that we have updated the Soviet section to bring it in line with the Eastern front books.

The book has new photographs, styles and layouts, making this a real step forward from Festung Europa visually as well as content wise.

Fortress Europe is a 160 page full colour book and is the same price as Festung Europa. It does not replace Festung Europa, but updates the lists within it. The forces in Festung Europa can still be fielded as valid Flames Of War forces so you are not forced to change anything should you not want to. It is simply a matter of making clear which book your force is from as it is either one or the other.

Fortress Europe will be out in stores on November 8th and to celebrate its launch we are going to say thank you in the best way we know how to all of you who have been supporting and playing late-war for the last two years. If you own a current copy of Festung Europa and would like to get Fortress Europe all you have to do is bring your copy down to your local store and when you purchase the new book you can choose any western front divisional book to take with you absolutely free.

That’s right you get to add one more divisional book to your collection for free when you pick up your copy of Fortress Europe. This can be any of the western front books from D-1 to Cobra and is a great way to pick up the book you simply never got round to getting.

It is often said that it takes a brave man not to be a Hero in the Red Army, but there is no doubt that the Tankodesantniki are very brave indeed. These tough SMG armed infantry stick closely to their tanks ready to defend them against Fascist tank-hunting infantry. And this is despite the dangerous fire that the tanks inevitably attract.

They were trained to give support their tanks by suppressing enemy anti-tank weapons or enemy infantry equipped with anti-tank grenades and rocket launchers. This close interaction between tanks ans infantry allowed the Soviet Army to achieve critical breakthroughs into the German defensive lines.

Each tank brigade was allocated a Submachine-gun company which was divided amongst the tanks, providing the tank riders. The number of Tankodesantniki for each tank depended on the size of vehicle:

Heavy tanks: 10-12 troops each,
Medium tanks: 8-10 troops each, and
Light tanks: 5-6 troops each.

In Flames Of War

With these new specialist miniatures it’s now much easier to represent your Tankodesantniki on the back of your tanks, they sit easily on the engine deck of most Soviet tanks. They can also be used to represent normal infantry hitching a ride on your tanks.

These new Tankodesantiki will help support your tanks or guard your assault guns against enemy infantry. These troops are well armed with submachine-guns and sheer bravery. They will contribute greatly to your assaults, heroically taking hits so that your tanks can fight on and destroy the enemy!

The Tankodesantniki special rules are found on page 181 of the Flames Of War rulebook.


The blister includes*:

• 32x Tankodesantniki Tank Riders (enough for 10 tanks).

* Blister does not include IS-2 or T-34 tanks.

The 189. Sturmgeshütz-abteilung was the first StuG assault gun unit to receive dedicated Begleit, or escort, troops. These tank riders were first assigned to the batterie for the Battle of Kursk, armed with rifles and submachine-guns. In the summer of 1944 the new Sturmgewehr 44 assault rifle began making appearances among the troops.

The Begleit soldiers’ job was to protect the vulnerable assault guns from infantry assaults. They would sweep enemy positions, clearing anti-tank positions or scouting ahead of their gun. When a threat was spotted, they would deal with it swiftly, allowing the assault gun to focus on mnore serious threats. This deadly combination proved successful and escort troops become common amongst the other assault gun units.

The StuG G assault gun was by far the most widely produced and used in the StuG series. Between 1942-45 over 7,700 were produced. The StuG G used the hull of the Panzer III M with a low-profile superstructure. This made the assault gun incredibly difficult to spot as it lay in ambush amongst dense terrain.

Later versions were fitted with the Saukopf, or pig's head, gun mantlet. This slightly increased the armoured protection of the gun as it deflected in-coming shots. The Saukopf mantlet is included in the box.

Rugged, reliable and powerful, the P-47 Thunderbolt not only was a monster of a machine (being the tallest and heaviest single seated Allied fighter), it was the most numerous US fighter of World War 2 - more than 15,700 P47 planes were produced in the United States.
With its eight machine guns, the P-47 had a considerable firepower that could reduce an enemy fighter to pieces in a matter of seconds.

Besides, with its high payload capacity, it was just as great a threat to ground forces – tanks, in particular. Exceptional diving capabilities gave the P-47 a serious advantage over fighters flying on a lower level, since they couldn’t escape in a dive, and allowed the Thunderbolt to destroy several ground targets, among which many armoured trains.

Soviet Il-2 Sthurmoviks had caused the Germans much trouble on the Ostfront and the situation didn’t improve in the west with "Jabos", or Allied fighter-bombers. When the German Luftwaffe lost air supremacy over Europe in the summer of 1944, it fell to the ground units to do as much as they could to protect themselves. They started to produce more and more modifications adding light or medium calibre anti-aircraft guns to standard-issue vehicles.

One result was the SdKfz 251/17 D model, which used a very compact gun that dropped into a standard Sd.Kfz. 251/1 hull. Ammo racks were added for up to 600 rounds of ammunition. While cramped, it did provide the platoon with a powerful anti-aircraft cannon to help keep enemy fighters at bay.

The gun was mounted using the Schwebelafette, or suspended mount, which boosted the 2 cm gun up over the top of the armour. This allowed the gun to be fired from within the half-track’s armoured hull and also engage ground targets in a 360 degree firing arc.
