During Gen Con 50 I chatted with Greg about Dust 1947. We talk about where it came from and what it has become.
Dust has come a long way since its origin.
In this Figure Forge Matt assembles an Eisenkern Stormtrooper with his rifle. The Eisenkern Stormtroopers are available from Warlord Games and Dreamforge Games.
These models have a lot of pieces but they go together nicely.
Examine the new Panther AUSF.A medium tank for the German army in the WWII historical miniatures game Bolt Action from Warlord Games. Historically the Panther was created by the Germans to solve the problem of the surprisingly superior heavy and medium tanks of the Russian army. The Panther was fast, well armored, and packed some serious fire power for a tank of its size.
Stop back soon to see us assemble it.
In this video we get a first hand look at the combat system in Tides of Iron from 1A games at Gen Con.
Tide of Iron makes me think about Squad Leader, my first SSG ever.
In this Figure Forge David assembles the T-34/85 Medium Tank for Bolt Action. The T-34 is the main battle tank of the Soviet Army during World War II.

One of them involves the turret.

The Supreme Commander: WWII in Europe, 1939-1945
$65.00 SRP
SDI
The Supreme Commander is a game designed for 2-5 players covering the entirety of World War II in the European Theater of Operations (ETO), from September 1939 to the end of the war. While there are plenty of other ETO games out there, The Supreme Commander effectively models all of the primary aspects of the war in a simple, straight-forward manner.
All of these elements and more are included in a surprisingly easy-to-learn game: Murmansk convoy, Lend-Lease, diplomacy, the strategic U-Boat campaign, technological advancement, strategic bombing campaigns, naval invasions, the economy and military production, partisans.
That is not to say that The Supreme Commander is some sort of compromise, surrendering historical accuracy for simplicity. The game delivers a detailed order of battle and meticulously researched economic and diplomatic system which allows players to play out the historical military campaigns of the war as well as the “what ifs” that may have happened. It is entirely up to the players, the system is open-ended and does not restrict players to the exact decisions of the past.
Contains:
Rules Booklet, Play Booklet
Two Counter Sheets
Two Player Aid Cards
Diplomatic Track
Six Force Pool Cards
22 x 34 inch Map
Two ten-sided dice
