We will release the exclusive finalized list of scenarios soon for all those who have pre-ordered, and as an added extra, we will look at including bonus content on the forces, defending Küstrin and Soviet use of lend-lease vehicles during the period.

Military Miniature Now Offering Military Research Services!

Ever wonder what your ancestors did while in the military? Through our parent company, SJR Research we can help you trace the steps of individual veterans to show you where they were and what they did during the war!

We Can Research the Following
US Army
US Coast Guard
US Air Corps
Merchant Marines
US Navy
US Marine Corps
US Air Force
Civil War
Revolutionary War
World War I
World War 2
Korean War
Vietnam War

Our military records specialists are on site at archival research facilities nationwide and can access a wide variety of military service records of your veteran. Our unique research process is essential to understanding the experiences of individual military veterans since the vast majority of WWI, WWII, and Korea Army/Air Corps personnel records were lost in the 1973 National Archives fire. We also do pre-WWI searches also! Our expertise enables us to reconstruct the service history of your veteran and to give you a glimpse of the experiences that he or she had during the war-even if their military service records were lost in the fire.

Discover the military campaigns and battles your veteran took part in. For example, we can actually determine the exact aerial missions that your individual Army Air Corps pilot flew.

Understand what your veteran experienced while assigned to specific infantry units, ships or squadrons.

Access personnel records showing your veteran’s enlistment, draft, honorable discharge, serial numbers, promotions, military training, ranks, military duties and enlistment photographs.

Learn when and where a veteran was wounded or killed in action (we can often show you exactly how a veteran was wounded or killed in action).

Find out whether your veteran was awarded valor medals for gallantry in action or for wounds received in the line of duty.

Explore military combat reports and casualty records to understand the battlefield experiences and sacrifices of your veteran and their military unit.

ANCESTOR SERVED IN AN INTERNATIONAL/NON-US UNIT? WE CAN SEARCH INTERNATIONAL VETERANS ALSO!

Send Us a Request to Start Researching Your Veteran. We also do generic genealogy research as well. MAKES A GREAT CHRISTMAS GIFT!

ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
Gateway to Berlin – The Battle of Kustrin – 31 January to 22 March 1945

From the creative wargaming pen of Piers Brand, we visit the apocalyptic rehearsal of the downfall of Berlin. The Battle of Kustrin was every inch as terrible and desperate, and for the miniature wargamer, had just as many opportunities to game out the vicious close quarters fighting that took place as in Berlin. Moreover, it features one of the last panzer attacks made by the German army. Over the course of nine scenarios, game out actions representative of the fighting in and around Kustrin. A variety of troop types and weapons featured in the battle, including King Tigers and everything from Wehrmacht Auxiliaries to Volksturm on the German side, and Lend lease Shermans and White Scout Cars, and assault engineers on the Soviet side.

The scenarios are rules-neutral, so feel free to adapt them for use with your favorite rules system. This book will have all you need to game this battle out and will be a jumping point to research even more actions set in and around Kustrin.

The more orders we receive the better book we can produce for you all!

New 200 Pre-Order Stretch Goal!:
Once we reach 200 pre-orders we will include an exclusive Johnny Shumate rendering of famous photo of Soldiers of the 1st Assault Engineer-Sapper Brigade storm a building in Kustrin in the scenario book as well as include a free teeshirt showing the same design ( tee-shirt offer only available for paperback pre-orders, must pre-order by December 31st, 2022 to receive by mid-February)

100 Pre-Order Stretch Goal:

For all those who have pre-ordered we will release the finalised list of scenarios, and as an added extra we will look at including bonus content on the forces defending Küstrin and Soviet use of lend-lease vehicles during the period.
