Soviet concentration of forces

Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: The German-Soviet War 1941-1945 is a turn-based World War II strategy game stretching across the entire Eastern Front. Gamers can engage in an epic campaign, including division-sized battles with realistic and historical terrain, weather, orders of battle, logistics and combat results.

The critically and fan-acclaimed Eastern Front mega-game Gary Grigsby’s War in the East just got bigger and better with Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: Don to the Danube! This expansion to the award-winning War in the East comes with a wide array of later war scenarios ranging from short but intense 6 turn bouts like the Battle for Kharkov (1942) to immense 37-turn engagements taking place across multiple nations like Drama on the Danube (Summer 1944 – Spring 1945).

Soviet concentration of forces

Post by fulcrum28 »

I do enjoy this game a lot, but sometimes I wonder if the three-four lines of Russian troops concentrated like walls on the large parts of front are realistic or not. I play with Fog but i saw this many times in AARs. And of course I suffer them as German. is it not too early in 1941 for the Soviets to have so many troops in several lines depth in the fronts?

Also quite simply it depends on how well you did in surrounding and capturing Soviet forces in 1941. If you capture a lot, then they will not be in those walls.
