Von Stahlein and his small staff have taken to the cellar beneath the ruined barn. He has made his dispositions, all is now in the hands of the gods of war. Across the wire, away to the east, the Bolsheviks make their preparations:
The terror of Stalin's organ pipes is prepared.
Armour takes position, the crew from the Lend Lease White scout car have gone for a last fag break - they've found something that might be tobacco.
Lufwaffe Field Division men take up position, and ready their few 'heavy' weapons.
A PK cameraman uses some of his last colour film to capture 'Eastern' troops with a Hetzer, back in the woods, under cover - Von Stahlein's surprise for the Bolsheviks...
And what of rules...
