From AVP's site today:
"Canada’s crack mechanized brigade fights the Soviets in the 1950’s. You’ll need Elsenborn Ridge, Hammer & Sickle and either Road to Berlin or Fire and Sword to play all of the scenarios. With 88 silky-smooth, die-cut pieces and 10 scenarios."
What is Fire and Sword? Am I just blanking on something obvious?

Is it that obvious and I'm just drawing a blank? I don't follow.
What is Fire and Sword? I never heard of it.

Neither have I. Thats what I'm trying to figure out. Its listed as one of the possible pre reqs for the reprint of Maple Leaf
typo for Fire in the Steppe?

Its possible, but I dont know what units it would be pulling from either Road to Berlin or Fire in the Steppe assuming Fire in the Steppe shares the same Soviet OOB as EFD.
Seems if it just needed the basic unit mix it would list one of the in print Kursk games?
Sounds like a not yet revealed reboot of late war east front to me, but I might have my tinfoil hat on tonight
Based solely on the wording of "either Road to Berlin or Fire and Sword", I'd also guess it's an upcoming game re-using the counters from Road to Berlin.
That typo is under Maple Leaf Brigade, Fire and Sword is a typo, I am sure it was meant to be Fire in the Steppe.
I validated the OOB with the Road to Berlin and Hammer & Sickle combination when we developed Maple Leaf Brigade. It's very likely it would work with other base game(s) combinations + Hammer & Sickle but I did not check it at the time. Note that Hammer & Sickle is required for some of the Soviet hardware.
Fire and Sword would be a terrible name anyway. How bland!
