Rules as Writ + Errata

For Thunder in the East, the beginning is Barbarossa just before July 1941. The other ETO games will have their own start. Researching the Order of Battle for all the countries early in the war has lead to a slight change in the starting forces, mostly in the rear areas, for the Soviets. Below is a

Hello, Can someone point me to a sequence of play player aid card that is compatible with rules version 1.1? The player aid that shipped with the game is very useful and detailed but differs from the sequence of play published in the rules booklet.

With the Arctic Theatre out of play, if the Germans capture Tikhvin (or hit the Arctic Theatre boundary further east), does this isolate ground units in Leningrad, or can they trace an OLoC through the Arctic?Or must the Germans capture Volkhov? Similarly, can Leningrad trace an RLoC through the Arc

Germans get a win, the Soviets get a win. Playtesting is happening with an all new Battle for Moscow II. Some are using their TiTE game, some the Vassal module and a couple have printed out the files. Chris in Dublin, has developed a ZunTzu module. With a larger map than the earlier B4M, there are

Gil has posted a query on BoardGameGeek that will get you thinking outside the box. Pushing your Panzers forward can be blocked by better Soviet planning. The Soviets must have a balance between standing and fighting to slow the Axis down and running. If you retreat to quickly, the German HQs can se

There is no adequate mechanic in close Campaign games to create the urgency of the shorter Scenarios wrt the holding of Objectives (Simon's point in a recent post). I have been playing as if it really matters to hold on to the Objectives, but not to the point of great sacrifice. The Germans passed t

Lance did some exhaustive study of the weather, and we have a much richer Weather Table. There was a chance for rain and overcast to slow the Axis. By using two D6, and creating four blocks of rolls with varying probabilities, it was possible to introduce more nuance of probability for weather types

hello. first, i hope you will excuse me for my english : i'm french. 2 questions : 1/ i was reading the new scenario instructions for Barbarossa campaign and i don't understand somes points : > in russian instructions, you write "Emergency Mobilization OOB" marker - august 1941 URSS mobile force

Hello, as rules 1.1: building a specialist AIR UNIT only happens on the first turn of each month, depleting the specialist allowance for a Nationality for that turn. My question is: includes the above rule also re-equiping an air unit? Can you only build or re-equip an air unit on the first turn of

This game was using the Vassal module to track things but played in person. The only change we make was to have the Romanians, Hungarians, and Italians limited to being south of a hexrow that was a couple of hexes north of Voronezh (the northenmost point of the SW front). We actually just finishe

Okay have to ask German obb lets say you get your fw190 units and upgrade your ju87 then a month later the ju 87 is withdrawn from play but you have no ju 87 counters left. what happens or is it just no effect etc since the counter to be with drawn is gone? Same thing like with 10-6 armor what happe

Do they simply return to the Force pool so they can be built again? This scenario results in overflowding of Soviet Guard troops in the map, where they make a majority of forces.

Since I have posted here several times already, I've decided to talk about this card. I kinda don't understand in which scenario it can be useful. It only gives MP to Romania which are immediately taken back as soon as the Red Army retakes Chisinau. Romania is really under no threat of Morale collap

So have to ask 3 to 2 attack causes a stalemate result and then a combat die roll result for the cost of 1 moral for 2 turns. How the hell is this a small soviet card that comes back every 2 seasons. the soviet large cards are not this good. the old card was change the attack into attacker press s

Hello. i hope everybody is well. :-) In TiTE, in barbarossa scenario, german player started scenario or campaign with 5 x 4-4 to buy in his pool. In TiTE2 i can't find them (in the Vassal module) on the turntrack nor on cards. on the newest scenario instructions i do not find them. in vassal they

Hello In Barbarossa set up, russian may start with the card "Heroes of the..." but at this time he just has 1 guard corp (in the ?-4 pool) wich cannot be changed with another one. so i think "Heroes of the" can only be used to change Cavalry corps untill th russian purchase "USSR Guards inf.corps"

hello :-) "The Axis player may improve one German Corps Remnant (KG) unit in a supplied City hex in German Home Territory. " Is the german able to use free stuff to improve an armored kg in a reduced armored corps for free ? If it is possible, it's a surprise for me, but i can't find anything agai

Hello everybody. I'm playing a Vassal Tite game with a fellow wargamer. We are both beginners and tried our hands with the Barbarossa scenario. I was too cautious with the german and by August, the Red Army was able to mount counter attacks and we decided to throw the towel for this one. We plan to

The new rules say that the Isolation HQ is not eliminated, but rolls the dice whatever happens to it. Similar to the units in Isolation.I have doubts about this solution. An army in isolation, with some supplies, can fight for some time. But HQ represents the entire supply and command system, which

In my current solo game I have just played round 25 Week 1 of February 1942. The Germans finaly experienced Extreme Cold and the offensive stopped dead. The Soviets desperate to secure the line and fill the gaps decided to play the card manpower shortages and return 9 conscripts to the pool and gain

Does this card allow to move troops right to any railway hex between yours and enemy's cities? For example, can a Soviet army rail-move to 9036 near V. Luki, effectively bypassing all German defences? I mean it can, according to the card description but this seems a little bit broken.

I wanted to get a sanity check on a game in progress. We've been speculating on the future direction this game and wanted to hear perspectives from others playing the ETO rules on the current board position. The question is: Which side has the advantage? How would you project the short-term (19

Bonjour, My name is Corentin, i'm a french student of mathematics and I recently found myself intrested in boardgaming, it might even become a passion. With the pandemic going on, I started playing solitaire games and took the time to learn how to play "Fields of fire", a tactical/company scale WW2

Some time ago, the Soviets needed some help. Katyusha Rockets would resemble German Generals by allowing Double Shifts for one HQ. It was later found that mixing a few special Soviet cards made DE's/BT's too common. Since Module .5.5's release, it now confers a Red Bolt instead. The card is still da

Page 107 of rules (0,45 version of 2020, may) , facing "Airfields attack strike" the target hardness of base is given for being "Soft" and being "Variable". i think it's a mistake ans it's allways variable, isn't it ? thanks

I have enjoyed playtesting against Jeff Nyquist, with council from Alan and Jay, for about a year. I have had luck favor me consistently, which can be vexing frustration for others. Jeff has often turned to Alan when his luck ran low, and last night was a special situation. It was July 3, 1942. Jef
