Matrix Games Forums

There is a new review in the recent issue of Armchair General. They said this game just might be the definitive game of the Eastern Front.

Great job Matrix!

I thought it would be noticed sooner or later by yourself.

Gary Grigsby's War in the East awarded the gold medal from Gamershall.de.

However, you showing the silver medal! [:-]

Summary and conclusion

You take on the role as the supreme commander of the entire front, and so will issue orders to all combat and support units on the map. If you want you can delegate responsibility to individual commanders in the field, in that you designate an objective for a Corps or Army, and the commander will then utilize his resources in the best way to try and reach that objective. This allows you to develop your own style of play; either focus on the big lines, draw up the big plans and let your corps/division commanders execute your plans to the best of their ability, or get your hands dirty and direct the attacks yourself from the front line. You can choose to be a logistical genius and focus on production and supply of your units, or you can be the air general, commanding swarms of Stukas onto the unsuspecting Soviets. The choice is yours in Gary Grigsby’s War in the East!

In my opinion the game is excellent for anyone interested in WW2 in general, and Operation Barbarossa specifically. With the combination of detail and playability I believe 2By3Games has created an excellent war game that should be attractive to both the experienced war gamer and the more casual gamer looking for a challenge.

!!!And finally remove the "Gamershall silver medal" in the first post!!! [:@]
