Does the East Front Box Actually Matter?

Gary Grigsby’s War in the West 1943-45 is the most ambitious and detailed computer wargame on the Western Front of World War II ever made. Starting with the Summer 1943 invasions of Sicily and Italy and proceeding through the invasions of France and the drive into Germany, War in the West brings you all the Allied campaigns in Western Europe and the capability to re-fight the Western Front according to your plan.

Does the East Front Box Actually Matter?

Post by TheMelancholyDonkey »

I'm playing as the Germans, and made slowing down the Red Army a priority. For thirteen months, I never let the Front Condition fall to Critical, and kept it Stable for more than 2/3 of that time. And yet, Operation Bagration ended exactly where it did historically: on the doorstep of Warsaw. It feels like none of my effort mattered; what was destined to happen was going to happen.

It seems to me that if you don't enable it, the game gives you an extra 3 months to achieve your goals.

It should matter, but there's a lot of variability to the results.
