1Welcome to the second expansion forMemoir '44: The Eastern Front.ForewordFrom the frozen shores of Lake Ladoga to the burning ruins of Stalingrad, relive some of the most intense battles of WWII,where entire Army groups disappeared faster than a single battalion on the beaches of Normandy.This expansion follows Expansion one, the Terrain Pack. While the Terrain Pack focused on new terrain and rules, theEastern Front expansion is devoted to the ferocious battles that pit the Axis and Soviet forces against each other. Also includedis a scenario drawn from the Russian-Finnish war, and an Overlord scenario of what turned out to be the largest tank battlein history: Kursk.This pack is independent from the Terrain Pack and from expansion three - The Winter/Desert board map, which are notrequired to play the Eastern Front battles. Throughout, we have used the appropriate board (Winter board during Winterscenarios) in the depiction of each scenario, but purely for visual purposes. For the ultimate gaming experience, you mayalso consider buying our "Winter/Desert Board Map" expansion. Otherwise, you may play with the standard country-sideMemoir '44 board.For Memoir '44 enthusiasts who own both expansions, we have thrown in a "bonus" 8th scenario that combine themall. You will find this scenario at the end of this booklet.Make sure you visit the game web site at www.memoir44.com. As with all Days of Wonder games, you will find plentyof resources: additional rules, new scenarios, forums, etc. The Memoir '44 community is extremely active and very helpfulto new players.And above all, have fun and enjoy!Richard Borgand the platoon at Days of Wonder
