Saw this posted on Facebook, so thought it would be worth repeating. Coming in July and August 2017 apparently, we have:
- Red Thunder Briefing Book (Early July)
This contains, according to the Battlefront website:
The Soviet Union’s most powerful forces are stationed in East Germany and Czechoslovakia poised on the border with West Germany ready to strike at a moment’s notice. They are equipped with the very best Soviet industry has to offer, from sophisticated missile firing T-64 tanks and powerful T-72 tanks to versatile BMP infantry fighting vehicles, as well as plentiful BTR-60 armoured personnel carriers.
Supported by elite Afgansty Air Assault troops, powerful self-propelled artillery, and effective and numerous antitank and anti-aircraft weapons, there will be little that the corrupt capitalist armies of NATO can do to stop them. Soon the western workers will be free and the dawn of a new socialist age will begin.
• Background on the Group of Soviet Forces in Germany, 94th Guards Motor Rifle Division, 18th Guards Motor Rifle Division, and Yuri Volkov’s Tank Battalion.
• Instructions on how to build a T-64 Tank Battalion, BTR-60 Motor Rifle Battalion, BMP Motor Rifle Battalion, T-72 Tank Battalion, or Afgantsy Air Assault Battalion.
• Three Scenarios to test your skills with your Soviet force.
• A detailed painting guide to help you prepare your Soviets for combat.

Just caught the Noyes posts ! Fantastic, looks like it was worth the effort working the rules out.
ReplyDeleteAnd interesting Team Yankee stuff as well. Still not enough to start a second collection, though.
Well, I for one am very excited! Great looking models all, but russians can be very hard to play if not using Bmp2 spam. More powelfull lists coming I hope.
