Part II: The Great Pressure Point

By Alan Emrich with Jeff Nyquist

In Part I of this series, we explained the gameplay background behind this exciting single game turn (June I ’43) of Frank Chadwick’s ETO vol. I: Thunder in the East. The past was prologue and we presented first the battles along the border of the Baltic States as a series of maps showing the cut-and-thrust of the war on the Eastern Front along that sector. In this episode, we move south and eastward along the line where a surprising campaign takes some rapid, up-tempo twists.

This article series was written prior to the “ETO-izing” of the rules. We will try to note the changes as they appear.
