DUBNO 1941: The Greatest Tank Battle of the Second World War

Based on recently available archival sources, Isaev asserts the armored units, not the tanks, won or lost the battles. The Germans during the Blitzkrieg era had superior T&OEs for their tank forces. The German Panzer Division notonly used tanks, but defeated its opponents by using artillery, heavy artillery, motorized infantry, and engineers. The Red Army's armored unit – the Mechanized Corps – had a lot of teething troubles, as it lacked accompanying infantry and artillery. In 1941, the Soviet Armored Forces had to learn the difficult science – and mostly 'art' – of combined warfare. Isaev traces the role of these factors in a huge battle around the small Ukrainian town of Dubno. Popular myths about impregnable KV and T-34 tanks are laid to rest. In reality, the Germans in 1941 had the necessary tools to defeat them. $70.00 USD

Modern War # 31 Combat Veteran

Two-player tactical combat system that simulates the dynamics of infantry combat at the individual (man-to-man) level. This game features two particular historic scenarios as the introduction to the wider system: Firefight at the Rice Paddy Angle (Vietnam in Mekong region, 1967), and Firefight at Combat Outpost Keating (Afghanistan in the Nuristan Province, 2009). Both firefights involved about a platoon of U.S. infantry against a numerically superior enemy force. The U.S. and Viet Cong game soldier game pieces represent specific, individual men of their respective units, whereas Taliban soldier game pieces represent three to six men. Each hex represents about 40 meters of actual terrain (almost half a football field from hex corner to hex corner), and the entire map area is roughly the same acreage as Hyde Park in London. Each weapon game piece represents one specific type of named weapon and its standard loadout. For example, the M60 weapon game piece represents one M60 machinegun, at least a 150 rounds of ammunition, and presumably a spare barrel (and even an asbestos glove), etc. Components: One 22x34-inch map and 280 counters. Plus magazine. $35.00 USD
