Box art of Charles Kibler, George Parrish Jr.

From the hay day of Avalon Hill, one of its best box arts, Turning Point : Stalingrad.
The empty eyes, the weary face of a German soldier amid the rubble of Stalingrad under a crimson sky is story telling . Seldom is the individual face expression being put on wargame box art. This is a rare box art showing the face expression of an unknown participant of the battle.
 Around more or less the same time another game from AH,  Russian Front.
The box art captured the expectation of victory on the face of the soldier campaigning alongside a panzer column on the endless steppes of Russia. Veteran wargamers may find the two Stukas quite familiar, they appeared in AH's Third Reich Box Art.
The artists of the box art:
Turning Point : Stalingrad - Charles Kibler, George Parrish Jr.
Russian Front - Charles Kibler, George Parrish Jr., Neil Zimmerer

Avalon Hill was acquired by Hasbro. Many of these excellent games were out of print.
To view more of the works of the above brilliant artists search for Advanced Squad leader module at BoardGameGeek.
