the first armour vehicles on both sides and Clearness in Scale guestion!
Today we have pictures of the first armour vehicles from both sides:
German armour in the basic game will be represented by Panzer II, actually a light and uneffective tank against soviet counterparts!
Box:
and the back side of the box:
A finished model without any paint work:
I expected, honestly a Panzer III, a medium german panzer, as the main unit at the beginning of the OP Barbarossa!
But when I saw the soviet armour counterpart:
T-26 box:
and box back:
A finished model without any paint work:
Both Panzer consists of 5 parts and have their unit cards!
By the way, due to the information on the back side of the box we know that the armoured (and unarmoured ones logically!) have the 1/100 scale!

Soviet counterparts!
One the best airplanes (maybe the best!) of the soviet tactical air support during WW2 was the Ilyushin IL-2.
It was a ground attack aircraft (Shturmovik), produced by the Soviet Union in very large numbers.
In combination with its successor, the Ilyushin Il-10, a total of 42,330 were built, making it the single most produced military aircraft design in all of aviation history. (Source: Wikipedia)
It was a prominent aircraft for tank killing with its accuracy in dive bombing and its 37mm guns penetrating their thin back armor.
That means, there must be a IL-2 - model!
Box:
Back side of the box:
The box contents 12 parts with info-card of the unit!
No glue is required!

Air support!
During the "Great Patriotic war" or so called, "Eastern Front", the air support were vital.
I realized, that none of articles in the blog contents any information about "air support" - factor in the game.
At the beginning of "Operation Barbarossa" the tactical air support played an important role. The famous (not the best in WW2!) on the german side was Stuka.
Depending on this reality there will be naturally a stuka model in the basic game.
Here some photos:

Content:
finished, but unpainted model:
Back side of the box:
Now it's clear,that the scale for the airplanes is 1/144 and the box contents 8 pieces!
No glue is required!
Naturally there will be russian counterparts...

Here are some additional Photos, which could be helpful for scale comparision:

Which scale?
While reading (after translated through "Google") messages in some russian forums I am a little bit confused about the scale of the figures and vehicles in the forthcoming boardgame of Zvezda.
Some say, it's 1/72, which matchs with the figures on the photos.
But there is a photo on which we can compare vehicle and figure, knowing the figures scale is 1/72, than the vehicle scale should be smaller one.
Maybe 1/100?
and a photo from Egmont russia tells us another story:
It's written: (thanks Google!)
Publishing House Egmont Russia in April, runs a unique collector's edition of the "Great Victory", which includes informative magazine, a board game and a set of figures, soldiers of the Soviet and German armies of the Great Patriotic War, as well as military vehicles in scale 1:144. The collection also shows aircraft, tanks, combat vehicles, weapons. The publication is richly illustrated with colorful patterns, hand-drawn images, photographs, maps, and contains unique information about the major battles.
and now 1/144 scale?
Lets wait and see!

Fantasy Flight Games / Battles of Westeros boardgame / Order tokens - another component!
Players use order tokens or/and Leadership cardsto order their armies.
Order tokens allow a player to give direct orders to a single unit.
There are 5 different variants of order tokens.
Photo of two:
Green-, blue-, red shield, valor(gauntlet) and morale (flag)!
The colored ones could be used to order units with the same color(rank).
The valor token a unit of any rank.
Two tokens of the same type at once to order any unit.
It is important to notice that ordering with an order token is the ONLY way to give an order to an UNCONTROLLED unit.
(A unit which is out of ZOC (Zone of Control) of any commander is uncontrolled!)
The flag token is an exception in compare to the other order tokens.
This could be used for increasing his House's morale by one or
to rally one of his units by decreasing his House's morale by one!
In both cases of flag order token no unit could be ordered.
In each Battle plan (scenario) there is a Order rating icon. A symbol with 2 dices and a number beside it.
The active player rolls a number of dice equal to this number and takes order tokens from the supply which match the results of the dice rolled.
This new order tokens forms the players Order Pool.
After giving an order to a single unit, the choosen order token will be placed into the supply back.
And the unit's banner must be turned to its inactive side. (Opposite color of the current round track to the respective/active player)

Fantasy Flight Games / "Battles of Westeros" - boardgame / the round track with its marker, victory markers and banners!
The round track with its marker and 2 victory markers for each house are other game components.
While, logically, the round markers defines the current round, the victory markers shows the actual victory points of each house.
All of these markers have "+10" sign on their reverse sides.
More important is the fact that the round track has 10 spaces in 2 different colors, white and black. Round one is white, round two is black, and so on..
With this additional detail the round marker's position defines also the round color!
For better understanding of this detail we should describe another component, "the banners".
Like in BL, one figure of each unit must have a banner, which indicates his House and its combat rank. But in BoW the banners have 2 different colors on their each sides, black and white; like on the round track.
In the first phase of each round the players should rotate their units banners so that the colors of both components match each other.
This is called "ralling units' and makes them all "active".
It's very important, because only active units can be given orders during the game.
The current color of the banners should face the respective players of each side.

The great Patriotic War - figures and vehicles!
Hi!
Zvezda started a new line of the WW2 1/72 miniatures for their new wargame.
Here are some photos of the AT-gun, AA-gun and howitzer:
Soviet 37mm anti-aircraft gun.
Soviet 45mm anti-tank gun. The crew is good and urgently needed!
German Flak38 anti-aircraft gun.
German 105mm howitzer. The construction of the gun is simple, but the crew is good in my opinion!
Don't forget to notice that those on the photos are molded in hard polyethylen, which obscures some details.
I think, that Zvezda will produce in hard plastic in the final production.
By the way, we all know their quality, don't we!
