Gaming the Eastern Front in 28mm

Greengs All,

Im thrilled and honored to have been the author for Two Hour Wargames

NUTS Eastern Front WW2 supplement book. This parcular theatre of the war

has fascinated me for the last decade, and most of my 28mm WW2 skirmish

gaming acvies center around the Eastern Front. I know a lot of people game

the Eastern Front in 15mm and microarmor, but since those arent really scales

for which I have a broad knowledge base, Ive decided to list a few places you

can go to get the 28mm gures and terrain you need for skirmish gaming theEastern Front. My collecon includes products from most of these companies.
