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).

2 FBD questions

Post by Michael Hobuss »

I'm finishing up my 2nd turn in the GC as Germany.

1. I gathered from reading the forums the German starts with 5 FBD units, but I've only been able to locate 4, 1 in the north, 2 in the center, and 1 in the south. Are there 5, or does one come in as a reinforcement soon?

2. The FBD in the south, 1 hex east of Lvov shows 11 mps left, and is on a hex controlled by Germany, as are all with 5 hexes around him. Yet the repair button doesn't light up with a number showing. The hex is connected by repaired or under repair all the way to the border to the north of it. Why?

1. The last one is down in Romania and will activate on turn 3 with 11th Army. (purple guys)

2. Will need screen shot to help you with that one.

Thank you kindly. I just flipped over to turn 3 and figured out about why the FBD didn't work. All is good now.

Check the rail lines and make sure that they connect back to Germany. There may be a rail hex NorthWest of Lvov that needs to be converted to connect up to the rail line you are working on. I have had the same thing happen and traced it to the hex where the rail line dips into Soviet territory before going back up into Axis territory.
