| What it adds | Soviet army pack: 42 infantry, 24 T-34 tanks, 6 ZIS-3 guns, 44 mostly winter terrain tiles, badges and 8 new scenarios. | A double-sided board, desert on one side and winter on the other, with simplified campaign rules and Blitz rules. |
| What it fixes | Opens up Eastern Front battles and a second army to play, so a pair who has played the base scenarios often gets fresh, different-feeling fights. | Gives the desert and snow settings a proper board instead of the base game's green countryside. |
