The War Room's Podcast: Recent Episodes
The War Room
In this episode of WarHQ’s War Room we take the time to have a look at the myth and the fact behind Sargent Pavlov and his house.
Following up on the Campaign Stalingrad bolt action book release we look in more depth at what actually went on at Pavlovs house. Then we delve into building a Bolt Action list from using the new list and selector from Campaign Stalingrad to reflect the forces defending the house. And we answer the question “Did they really only have one record player and one record?”
