Gary Grigsby's War in the East

Gary Grigsby's War in the East: The German-Soviet War 1941-1945 is the spiritual heir to the great Eastern Front board and computer wargames, scaled to division and brigade level across the entire Eastern Front at 10 miles per hex. The map stretches from 100 miles west of Berlin to the Ural mountains and from 150 miles north of Leningrad down to Bulgaria and Baku.

5 major campaigns starting in 1941, 1942, 1943, 1944, and a 1941 Alternate Victory all extend to summer 1945, joined by 11 scenarios ranging from 10 to 25 turns. Up to roughly 4,000 units sit in the database, with division-sized maneuver units backed by thousands of battalion and regiment-sized support units (artillery, engineer, ski, anti-tank, pioneer, tank destroyer, and more). German Corps/Army/Army Group HQs and Soviet Army/Front HQs sit at the top of the chain.

Supply, fatigue, experience, morale, and the skill of 500+ historical commanders all shape combat results. Air units run day and night missions with night fighters, manual or automated aircraft upgrade allocation, Soviet factory evacuations with realistic production penalties, weather zones, ice on rivers, intricate fog-of-war with unit detection levels, and intricate disruption/disable/fatigue accounting. PBEM and PBEM+ multiplayer, full editor with CSV import/export, and 5 difficulty-help categories per side round out the rig.
