Check out our new cover for Piers Brand's upcoming scenario book and our news on our additional stretch goal from The Plastic Soldier Company
We are excited to announce that we have teamed up with Plastic Soldier Company for Piers Brand's upcoming scenario book Gateway to Berlin – The Battle of Küstrin '45 pre-order campaign, and are announcing some great new stretch-goals!
New 200 Pre-Order Stretch-Goal Addition!
As of November 7, 2022, we reached 100 pre-orders! For all those who have pre-ordered, (Thanks!). We will release the exclusive finalized list of scenarios soon for all those who have pre-ordered, and as an added extra, we will look at including bonus content on the forces, defending Küstrin and Soviet use of lend-lease vehicles during the period.
Once we reach 200 pre-orders, we have already announced, we will include an exclusive Johnny Shumate, rendering of the famous photo of soldiers of the 1st Assault Engineer-Sapper Brigade storming, a building in Kustrin in the scenario book, as well as include a free teeshirt, showing the same design (tee-shirt offer only available for paperback pre-orders, must pre-order by December 31st, 2022, to receive by mid-February). All people who have already pre-ordered a paperback will also receive this.
We are also announcing once we reach 200 pre-orders. Plastic Soldier Company will also offer each of the first 200 pre-orders a 15% discount code for use on the PSC webshop (only for those who order a paperback copy)! Great treat for holiday shopping!
Also thanks to the generosity – The Plastic Soldier Company, the book will also include content specific to Battlegroup, making this book a must have for any Battlegroup player. The added content of special rules and notes in regards using the scenario with Battlegroup will allow players of this system to use the scenarios directly with ease, and its hoped, offer inspiration to players of other systems as to how to incorporate special rules or events in their choice of rules.
Once we reach 200 pre-orders, we will use Battlegroup as an extra section in each scenario, tailoring the scenario for use directly with the Battlegroup rules!

From the creative wargaming pen of Piers Brand, we visit the apocalyptic rehearsal of the downfall of Berlin. The Battle of Kustrin was every inch as terrible and desperate, and for the miniature wargamer, had just as many opportunities to game out the vicious close quarters fighting that took place...
