Greetings friends!
 
At the Kickstarter coming soon together the Spanish Second Edition and the English First Edition of the basic game that we have been introducing in the previous posts, 2GM TACTICS opens new fronts now adding other Nations to the game. So we hope you support us joining to the battle!
 
NORTH AFRICA FRONT
2GM Tactics moves to battlefields of Egypt and Lybia. Two new nations are taking part in these battles: Great Britain and Italy.
 

 
This expansion pack lets players revive the battles fought by English and Italian forces, before the German Afrika Korps arrival to the theatre of operations.
 
EAST FRONT
 
On the other side, Germany breaks the non-aggression pact with USSR and starts the Barbarrossa Campaign, bringing the blitzkrieg to Russian lands.
 

 
Most of Spanish players have been asking for new Armies to join the battle, specifically the Red Army. We have worked hard to bring them in within a short period of time.
 
So, furthermore, the base game cards, new unit types, support cards, terrain cards and Generals shall be added to the game experience. We are even working on a campaign book based in the new available fronts too.
 
We will keep you informed, and we will see you on the battlefield!

Hi soldiers!

Less than 7 days left for the Kickstarter 2GM TWG launching. We are very nervous waiting for the battle, but we are looking forward to it.

At the North Africa 'Theater', the British 3,7 pounds QF AA batteries are ready to protect the armoured british forces advance, while the Italians try to mislead the British using decoys.




On the other side, at the East front, the German North Army Group have reached the gates of Leningrad. The Soviet city is ready to resist the enemy siege under the command of General Gueorgui Zhukov.



Men are ready and the countdown has started!

We will see you in the battlefield!
