Their new spotlight on the book takes a look at what you can actually make when it comes to building an army. Here is the breakdown of what's available if you fancy the idea of playing as the Finnish...

  • T-26 Armoured Company with T-26 light tanks, T-28 and T-34 medium tanks and KV-1 heavy tanks.
  • Sturmi Assault Gun Company with the Finnish modified Sturmi StuG assault gun.
  • Infantry Company with hard-fighting veteran infantry. These troops have a good selection of weapons to supplement their firepower including machine guns, mortars, anti-tank guns, and specialist close defence anti-tank infantry.

If you're more of a Hungarian fellow then you'll have access to these options...

  • Panther Tank Company with German supplied Panther tanks
  • Tiger Tank Company with German supplied Tiger heavy tanks
  • Turán Tank Company with the Hungarian Turán medium tank
  • Panzer IV Tank Company with German supplied Panzer IV tanks
  • Zrinyi Assault Gun Company with the Hungarian built Zrinyi self-propelled 105mm howitzer.
  • StuG Assault Gun Company with German supplied StuG assault guns
  • Hetzer Assault Gun Company with German supplied Hetzer tank-hunters
  • Rifle Company well supported with machine-guns, mortars, anti-tank gun and new anti-tank rockets

Finally, we have the options for those looking to build up a Romanian force on the tabletop.

  • R-2 Light Tank Company with R-2 (Panzer 35(t)), T-38 (Panzer 38 (t)), and R-35 Renault light tanks
  • T-4 Medium Tank Company with German supplied Panzer IV tanks
  • TA Assault Gun Company with German supplied StuG assault guns
  • Motorised Rifle Company with options dismounted and mounted armoured infantry in Sd Kfz 251 half-tracks. These troops have plenty of firepower with machine guns, mortars, anti-tank guns and self-propelled tank-hunters.

One of the neat things for these forces is that they are well-supported regardless of not really being the big players in World War II. If you want to play one of these armies, you're not going to be missing out.
