Flames Of War Bagration: Soviet (HB) - Late War Rule Expansion

Bagration: Soviet (HB) - Late War is a dedicated rule expansion for the Flames Of War tabletop wargaming system. This hardback book focuses exclusively on the Eastern Front during the later stages of the Second World War, specifically the massive Soviet summer offensive of 1944, codenamed Operation Bagration. The expansion provides the complete rules, unit profiles, and historical context needed to field a Soviet army from this pivotal campaign, allowing players to recreate the Red Army's decisive push through Byelorussia that shattered German Army Group Centre. The book contains detailed army lists for Soviet forces, including Rifle Corps infantry formations and armoured units equipped with T-34 and IS-2 battle tanks. It features the specific special rules, objectives, and scenarios that reflect the tactics and challenges of this period of warfare. As a hardback volume, it is designed as a durable reference for players, complementing the core Flames Of War rulebook. The expansion delves into the historical background of the campaign, from the initial bombardments and assaults on fortress towns like Vitebsk and Orsha to the relentless advance toward Minsk. This expansion is best suited for existing Flames Of War players looking to expand their Late War period collections to include the Soviet side of the conflict, or for historical wargamers with a specific interest in the Eastern Front. It provides all the necessary tools to build and command a thematic Soviet force for organised play or friendly narrative games. The content supports players who wish to explore the asymmetrical warfare between the battle-hardened Red Army and the defending German forces during this critical phase of the war.
