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).

Some small things I'd like to see tweaked:

1) I love the look of the map. However, for movement planning purposes, I'd love to see a toggle to highlight river hexsides so that the player can get a solid look at them from a distance (especially when zoomed out).

2) The "blue" of clickable text is indistinguishable (to my eyes) from the white of non-clickable text. How about making clickable text permanently yellow so that it will stand out?

3) Combat reports need some visual help. Even just making "loss" numbers red would help the user more easily compare numbers and results.

I have exactly the same problem. For me all text is white.

I would like an Out of Supply notification when you view a unit in the Unit bar. Currently we can see the units current supply on hand but it would be helpful to see at a glance if the unit is too far from the supply lines and will not be resupplied in its current location.

One request so far:

I would love if the "show victory locations" stayed on for every turn. It is becoming a minor annoyance to click it on every turn (a small thing, I know).

This is already in place, to see it you need to click shift-o
