Screenies?

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).

It's August 7th Joe. See the screenies in the product overview and you'll see a date of 12/4/1941.

I really don't know why a format of "dd-mmm-yy" hasn't become a standard, but as long as it's explicitly stated somewhere I'm sure we'll all cope, regardless of origin. [;)]

It doesn't seem like a big programming task to allow people to pick their preferred format as an option but it's not a big deal to me either way.

WOW!!! Looking good!!! [&o]

This looks like and update of the ole War in Russia, with more fluff and stuff I assume.

Oh and the squares on the map are really hexes!! Each square has 6 exits, like a hex. applying a hex grid is only for looks.

Rock and roll guy's!!! I sure hope you make your promised release date ... *coughs* unlike poor Combined Arms.

The game has a conventional hex grid.  Look closely at the map.  The offset squares just appear when there are certain overlays or filters on the map.

Well Clff you will love this game. Were adding alot of little things to speed game play (theres alot of stuff), research on production is on going, and Gary's getting the AI better all the time. We really want to put out a game which is very playable, fun, historic, and bug free...

True, but I have to say it already looks great!
ORIGINAL: Terminus

Smart move. I'd rather wait, and not see stuff that isn't representative.

I can't recall seeing a board with squares instead of hexes since Lou Zocchi's Battle of Britain.
Gary's WiR has 'em
Nice graphics and detailed equipment listing... seeing a Bloch shows the eye for detail, don't forget the Slovak Avia's[;)]
Why the preference to use squares instead of hexes?

In this thread please refer to post #4

A German armoured unit has broken through. It is painted light grey with a pale green centre. It is numbered 16-7.

Meantime, nearby, are 3 German HQ units all painted light grey with a pale green centre.

…..the counters look great, colourful and easy to distinguish to what HQ they're attached,


Which HQ is that unit attached to?
