Calling all defenders of the Russian homeland!!! The time to act is now. We are currently destroying the German
soldiers in Stalingrad and the Russian army is in the process of completing our encirclement. Once completed the
German army will be crushed and the war will be over before Christmas!
This is a GREAT location. It is the same location as Operation Cobra of 2007. That was a great event and we are
excited to be having an Eastern Front at the same location.
This a 300-acre site with wooded areas, open fields, groves, roads and several abandoned buildings. This will be an
authentic WWII tactical event with the battles being fought in an area that provides the opportunity for extensive
vehicle maneuvering as well as good defensive positions.
This is a "primitive" site; there will be running water and port-o-lets. Hotels, restaurants and stores are within
20 miles of the site
If you plan to attend please contact 197thGuard@Gmail.com. This is not required but will help us estimate troop and
vehicle numbers.
We have several vehicles already confirmed:
* A Russian T34 Tank
* A German 251
* A Lend Lease A M5 HST
* A Lend Lease M3 Scout Car
* Several German Kubels
* Possibly a German Sd.Kfz.222 armoured car
* Possibly some lend lease American jeeps
It is a great location for vehicles. All Russian, German and Partisan troops are welcome. This will be a great time
so please attend.
