Iron Eagle – ‘Eastern Front - Border Battle’
Suddenly and without warning, early on the morning of 22 June 1941, over three
million Axis forces lunged across the Soviet state border and commenced Hitler’s
infamous Operation Barbarossa. Spearheaded by four powerful panzer groups and
protected by an impenetrable curtain of air support, the seemingly invincible Wehrmacht
advanced from the Soviet Union’s western borders to the immediate outskirts of
Leningrad, Moscow, and Rostov in the shockingly brief period of less than six months.
Faced with this sudden, deep, and relentless German advance.
The first of the Eastern Front battles will see the German advance into Russia, with Minsk in sight, can the Red Army hold of the advance of the superior German war machine.
The first game will be an Ops weekend at Norwich, it will be Russian vs German (no Brit or US) but i'm happy for you to use any 2ww weapons or Bolt actions;) Kit wise, if you have nothing, ill have a pile of russian and german clothing to rent out FREE!
More info to follow!
What is Iron Eagle?
The Iron Eagle campaign is based on a German Advance rather than the Allied D-Day battle which are more Allied based games. We have chosen the Eastern front to add a new dynamic to 2ww Airsoft and using the same format as D-Day, there will be Operations weekends followed by main battles at fitting sites and all the stops will get pulled out to make every weekend truly memorable. Hope to see you all in the field.

Hello there i am interested in coming to this, but kit wise are there any restrictions on clothing? could i use my dot pea or brandenburg loadout? And would my Panzerbusche 39 be acceptable as a weapon? Pixy.
hi matey, clothing sounds fine but we have piles of generic kit we can lend out for free if its too of the beaton track and no probs on the Panzerbusche.

Also we could have peasants in the open scene if guys have the kit
Heer Schmidt

Put me down for the Russians please Josh.
Hi Josh. We are just double checking dates and will definately know by tomorrow morning, but Myself, Yith, Lipton and Horus are 90% there as Russains.
Can I just ask, as I cannot see it anywhere, how much is it? and where do we pay/
Cheers

It's not this weekend, it's the third weekend in Feb'
EDIT: Ah, I've just re-read. 'This' weekend as in 'this particular' weekend, rather than 'this coming' weekend

Yes, my shorthand typing isnt the best or the clearest at conveying my meaning.
You got there though.
I think which team I join depends on if my Ppsh-41 arrives in time.
