A second Eastern front expansion ......I hope.

By Aussie_Digger2, in Tide of Iron

I would really like to see a second expansion for the eastern front as this front is so large. I really want to see some of the earlier tanks introduced so that early scenarios have the proper equipment, Like to see the panzer II & III (although the Panzer III was with DotF) , the T-26 & BT-5 tanks for the russians, also the lighter AT guns that were around Pak38 (this can be used on all the fronts) the ZIS-2. more snow boards with more woods, built up areas, more streams and frozen lakes.

I would love to one day see a Winter war expansion (the finnish soviet conflict, introducing the finns as an army) I find this war very interesting and there are so many great scenarios to be had. Anyway I think this would be a long way off yet as the pacific has not come to the table yet.

Im sure there are other things people would like to see in a second eastern front set aswell.

Yep, it's really quite remarkable that there isn't a single Stalingrad scenario or Barbarossa (e.g. final Push to Moscow) scenario in FoTB. I also miss e.g. "Seelow Heights". Especially the glaring Stalingrad omission might indicate that there is either going to be another EF expansion (including the other "half" of the soviet infantry and hopefully some or all of the units you mention in your post) or that another Designer series' volume is in the pipeline.

This is basically a Panzerblitz expansion. If someone can do the 1941-era vehicles it would open the door on expansions for Franco 1940 and the Spanish Civil War as well as Stalingrad. And then there's the late war, which would open the door to Korea...

Definitely need more Pz IIIs, as there are not enough, even to make a good scenario in Days of the Fox. In fact, DOTF, should have a few additions added also. Some M-5 Stuarts would be great, and also some more Crusaders. A 25 pdr field gun would be a nice addition too. The Pak 38 is also needed here too.

Also need some more PzIVs, an armored car command unit perhaps (Rommel needs his own vehicle), a 20 mm quad flak gun , and a nebelwerfer to make things interesting.

More 76.2 AT guns for Russians, SMG infantry figures, a kneeling sniper figure, A commissar leader figure like A&A. How about adding an SU-76 too. Throw in at least 4 T34/85 models, and a Katusha rocket truck just for variety.

It would be great if FFG had a simple Scenario editor as a function available in the actual post editor, which a member could use to, lay out boards and 3d pieces in a simple manner, and post the suggested scenario in the same post. The only simple way I know of, is to just set up actual boards and pieces, and take a photo and import using the post editor or typing .
