Playing WitE and WitW together?

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).

Playing WitE and WitW together?

Post by icitrom »


Hello. I'm thinking of buying Gary Grigsby's WWII games and this question came to mind.

Are War in the East and War in the West compatible? I mean, if one were to run an instance of each, is there any connection between the two games whatsoever? Thanks.

simple answer is no

War in the West has a limited modelling of the Soviet-German war.

War in the East 2 has a more detailed modelling of the war between the Allies and the Axis but its still abstract.

When WiTE2 is released it might be possible to construct a grand 1943 campaign but it would be a lot of work not just to effectively load the WiTW OOB into WiTE2 but to get around problems of how to fit an essentially 3 sided war into a game stuctured around 2 sides.

Let's hope that the next Grigsby's game after WITE 2 will be WAR IN EUROPE, 1939-1945!
