Hi, I am looking for Eastern front scenarios that meet the following requirements. 1) 'Real' engagements/battles, not made up scenarios.
2) Games of a reasonable size, A couple of battalions or more, brigade, division etc. So not skirmish rules. The rules we game with are flexible, but generally each tank would represent about 3 tanks, and a unit of six bases of infantry would represent a company. Any suggestions for resources? |

Grey Steel, Red Storm – Regimental Scenarios in the Soviet Union 1941-1943 by Andrew Rolph, available on Wargames Vault link might suit, it gives 15 scenarios, with roughly 10 to 15 stands to a battalion. |

Rapid fire published some excellent scenario books both for the eastern and western fronts…tanks represent 5 vehicles if I recall and infantry 1:15. Check their websiite , they may still be available as PDFs, but I am not sure |

I'd second Andrew Rolphs title. There's also, if you prefer your fascists to speak Italian rather than German, a set of scenarios he's done on the italian CSIR |

Slightly different scale 1 vehicle/gun represents 2 or 3 real world vehicles guns and 10+ infantry stands represents a company is Battlefront the WWII version of Fire and Fury. link |

As noted, the Rapid Fire and Andrew Rolph publications. Also: TAC Publications "Eastern Front 1944" which includes a number of scenarios and a siege of Tarnopol mini campaign. Where the Iron Crosses Grow for Spearhead. I also took the Skirmish Campaigns Kursk scenarios and turned the back into their original brigade sized battles:) |
