I love this forum- its next best thing after playing WITE

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).

I love this forum- its next best thing after playing WITE

This forum has gone from when is it being released and salivating over the AAR's to a really lively discussion. The mandatgory family things have impacted my playing time. My wife nudges me when I seem to be daydreaming playing this game instead of her relatives house. I am also behind on my Netflix movies because of this.

This forum also has very helpful discussions. I alltogether see this as very constructive. A lot of people have a passion for this game and it shows. There maybe bugs but realistically I still love it. I migrated to playing Xbox because of a lack of good PC games like this. This game has brought me back.

Yeah, you can always tell a Matrix hit when their forums go crazy [:D]  The support for their games from developers, programmers and players is great.  Its a perfect way to help learn the in's and out's of the games.

I went to bed last night and had a dream about how to attack Army Group South... Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Ever since I picked this game up, I spend 20-30 mins laying in bed thinking of strategies before I can get to sleep. Then I have a dream about it within the first hour of sleep, one that I always end up waking up from and rethinking strategy for 10-15 mins before I get back to sleep. It's weird...

I know how you feel. For years I have been able to play games on one monitor while streaming Netflix(or watching a DVD from them)on another monitor. But this game sucks me in and I have no idea what is happening with any movie or tv show I am supposed to be watching.

As to the forum, I have never spent so much time reading any individual game forum as much as I do WitE. I have literally gotten very little work done since this game was released. This is compounded by the fact that I work mostly from my home. So I may be facing divorce and joblessness soon.
