Battles in the East 1: Sandomierz Offensive and Bagration Stopped, 1944

Battles in the East 1: Sandomierz Offensive and Bagration Stopped, 1944 is a two-player World War II Eastern Front wargame volume from Decision Games. It includes two 1944 battles using the Battles in the East system, an operational series inspired by classic SPI designs such as Panzergruppe Guderian, Army Group South, and Cobra.

Product Type: Boxed series volume containing two battles.

The first battle, Sandomierz Offensive, covers the Soviet drive to seize and hold a major bridgehead across the Vistula River while German mechanized reserves counterattack. The second, Bagration Stopped, covers the fighting near Warsaw as Soviet forces push north after the destruction of Army Group Center and German armor is rushed in to stabilize the front.

The system emphasizes operational movement, headquarters support, supply, and formation integrity, with rules showing the changing cohesion of Soviet and German forces as the Eastern Front war develops. Each volume uses common series rules with battle-specific scenario rules, setup cards, and charts for quick reference.

Contents include: one double-sided 22×34 inch game board, 440 die-cut 5/8-inch counters, 16-page system rules booklet, two sets of system charts, two sets of scenario rules/setup cards, scenario display card, one six-sided die, and storage bags.
