Russian Front '09

Russian Front was, once again, brought to the small town of East Hampton, Connecticut. Snow had blanketed the battlefield but the fire was stoked in the hearts of the German and Russian troops. The temperature was mild, the sky clear and the fighting fierce.

Every inch of ground was hard fought over. Towards the end of the day, it looked as though the Russians were in control of several key field positions but the Germans were raking in mission and prop points. In the end, it was the Russians who claimed a narrow victory over the Germans, 511 to 509. This ended the Team Extreme Measures twenty-two game winning streak but with such a greatly played game and close ending, there was absolutely nothing to be upset about.

Strategy Plus does a great job with their scenario games. I'm pretty sure the number of players at this game neared, if not exceeded, three hundred. Keep in mind this is for a game in February and that winter games usually draw smaller crowds. Obviously many others agree about the quality of play at Strategy Plus! Keep an eye on them for details on their next scheduled game (Should be War Of Attrition in April).
