The Immense Pleasure of Huge Wargames

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 thought the comments following the article were kind of humorous, if not down right daft. Some of the posters indicated war games with square grids are preferable to the "confusing" hexagonal grid used on the War in the East map. Square grids? Are they cave dwellers who are still playing Tactics-II or AH’s original Gettysburg? I guess these same dudes slept through basic geometry and probably think Pythagorean's theorem is some sort of medical condition.

Actually I find square grids really confusing. I feel like I am locked in a room and there are no doors out when squares are used. DUH.
