 1941 Eastern Front Campaign - Battle 2 This was a fight between a German Tank Platoon and a Soviet Machine-Gun Artillery Platoon.     This is the battlefield.  The Soviets start dug-in, the Germans are off table.

A trench line with a very small bunker. Not good, but good for learning lessons. My 'Bastions' project. Four bastions were used. Lots of bottom pieces. 'L' shaped corner bastions. Multi-level gun platforms. Lots of Heavy Bolters, some in ...
