Operation Bagration
In this Organized Play Season we will be taking players to the Eastern front, to participate in Operation Bagration. Operation Bagration was fought over two months from 22 June to 19 August 1944. The operation resulted in the near destruction of the German Army Group Centre, leaving a gap in the German line and opening the path to Poland and eventually, Germany. 

 

This season we will be focusing on one part of Operation Bagration, the offensive to recapture Minsk, a battle that resulted in one of the largest victories of the Soviet Army during the war. 

 
To capture the look and feel of Operation Bagration, as well as the war on the Eastern Front we have some interesting new terrain and missions for you to play.
 


   
It is time to dust off those old T-34s and muster your comrades in arms to fight for the glory of Mother Russia!   
   
 



Tiger I

The German heavy Tigers were the tank the Allies most feared when they landed in Europe.

TANKS at PAX

PAX, the Penny Arcade Expo, is a celebration of gaming. Started in 2004, it has now expanded to five locations, each of which has tens of thousands of attendees every year. PAX Australia, which started in 2013, is the first PAX outside of the United States.

People think of PAX as a show for computer gamers, but it has just as much to offer board and miniature gamers, too. While not quite as loud and flashy as the computer gaming hall, the tabletop area is nevertheless a huge and vibrant festival of gaming excitement.

This year Australian PAX-goers got a chance to try out TANKS, thanks to volunteers from the Bendigo & District Gamers’ Association (BADGA).
