Eastern Front Battle Photos

Greetings troops,

Tuesday evening, Steve and I were able to get some FOW Eastern Front action.  It was a fantastic battle that literally came down to one roll ... a snake eye by me.  Here are some photos of the game.  For the full AAR please visit WWPD: What Would Patton Do?

A bloody struggle begins in the village ... The Russians begin to fall one by one

The roll that caused the Russians to flee the field ... a close battle. 4-3 to Steve

It was a great game.  I am happy to say the rolls were amazing on both sides.  Great game Steve.  I look forward to getting my Russians victory.

Be safe, Keep the Paint flowing and the Dice rolling !!
