The Eastern Front during World War II

The Eastern Front was the largest land battlefield and the most decisive theater of World War II, where the Third Reich and the Soviet Union commanded millions of soldiers. 2by3 Games, the legendary wargame team, has spent years revisiting this historic conflict to create a new state-of-the-art game. Gary Grigsby's War in the East 2 is a complete overhaul and improvement of the original game, offering a more realistic, historically rich, and challenging strategy experience. The game includes a range of scenarios from a tutorial to the full 1941-1945 Grand Campaign, providing hundreds, if not thousands, of hours of gameplay. The improved AI opponent, map accuracy, order of battle, movement and combat models, logistics system, air system, and user interface make War in the East 2 the best game yet. A fully comprehensive manual and physical copy are also available to explain all the new features and improvements.
