Flames of War - Bagration: Axies-Allies (HC)

Flames of War: Bagration: Axis-Allies Forces on the Eastern Front, 1944 (Hardcover)

In 1944 Stalin’s Red army is on the attack. While it throws the Germans out of Byelorussia, it also goes about defeating Germany’s allies; Finland, Romania and Hungary. The Romanians hold off the first Soviet attacks, but a second massive offensive in August 1944 sees them overwhelmed. They surrender and swap sides to fight alongside the Soviets.

Meanwhile, the Finns also fight for their survival as the Soviets attempt to steamroll them out of the war. They fight the Soviets to a standstill and agree a peace, but are forced to turn on the Germans.

Then three massive Soviet Fronts turn on Hungary, defended by six German and Hungarian armies. The great red sledgehammer is soon swinging, as the Soviets and Romanians launch an assault toward Budapest. Axis armoured forces attempt to stop the encirclement of the city. This savage and bitter struggle will last for 100 gruelling days.

This book contains:

- Background on the Finnish, Hungarian, and Romanian Armies during the epic battles for the Eatern Front in 1944 and 1945.
- Instructions on how to build various Finnish, Hungarian, and Romanian forces. All three nations are well-supported with artillery, anti-tank, anti-aircraft, aircraft and reconnaissance.
- Painting Guides
- Basing Guides
- Three new Bagration-themed Missions.

These unique armies all offer something a little different from the Germans and Soviets they fight alongside or against of the Eastern Front in 1944 and 1945. They are well-worth a look for your next project.
