Wizards of the Coast has announced an October launch for the Axis & Allies Miniatures:  Counter Offensive 1941-1943 expansion.  The new set will include 50 pre-painted miniatures of soldiers and vehicles that fought in some of the pivotal battles of the middle war.  The fighting men of 14 nations will be represented in this expansion.

New Zealand, Yugoslavia, and Croatia will make their first appearances in the Axis & Allies Miniatures game as part of this expansion.  Other nations will see their forces expanded, including Greece, Hungary, Japan, and the USSR.

This is a booster-only expansion.  Each booster pack includes five 15mm models with stat cards that provide the statistics needed to use those units in the game.
