A closer look to the expansions of Zvezda!

I found photos on the Zvezda's forum from one of the expansion sets for the boardgame "The great patriotic war".

It's a T34/76 1940 version in 1/100 scale!



The box contents one info card of the model for the game, one instructions booklet and the model!



A closer llok to the instructions, which imho is the easiest one in the whole modelworld:

T 34/76 mod. 1940 for Zvezda's boardgame!

After the reinforcement for the germans, the russian side gets also his own armour.

T-34/76 (mod. 1940) box picture:



This fast kit has only 5 parts (Pz. III G has 9!) and is in 1/100 scale.



The price is 2,95 EUR.

The one with a basic paint work:



Hopefully ASAP I'll be able to buy one and report detailed.

And if someone has the possibility to compare with Flames of War models in the scale, please send an article!

Panzer III G - expansion for Zvezda's boardgame!

A new expansion for the german forces is on the way!

Panzer Kampfwagen III version G box picture:



The fast-kit has 9 parts and in 1/100 scale.



The announced price is 2,95 EUR.

A finished model without any paint work:

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!

more and more photos of the boardgame figures!

Some photos of Zvezda's 1/72 figures included boardgame "The great Patriotic War" from ACE Model forum:

russian AT in trench:


2 german and 2 russian tanks (Panzer II, Panzer III, T-26 and T-34)


schwere Feldhaubitze (haevy field howitzer):

new Photos for scale comparision!

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

Figures, Panzer II from the boardgame and the newest t-34 in 1/72 scale form Zvezda:



and here: only Panzer II and T-34 (1/72)




The vehicles in the game will be definitely smaller then 1/72 scale.

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!
