Updated Manual

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).

Hi all,
ORIGINAL: MaB1708

Leo, any chance you will take the task to update this? Thanks for all your work so far, anyway!
Cheers,
Martin

I was not around for long time (but I was lurking all the time)... quite busy with RealLife (TM)...

I will try to find my last editable WinWord version and post it here...

It's not going to be a problem if you can't. I'm nearly threequarters through formatting the Open Office version so it's not taking as long as I thought. At this speed I should be done with the formatting in 2 days. Just the updates after that.

Hey Chris21, this is great news!

Maybe when you get that all set up, the hive mind here could write some sort of general guide to play to accompany the manual.

Great to see someone has taken on the challenge of updating the manual. I wouldn't have had the game knowledge or understanding to do it properly.

I'd like to help with updating the manual, but I know my free time to write down answers is limited. Also, the intent of the designers were to keep a lot of the specifics how the game operates hidden. Please ask any questions that may arise, and I'll try to answer them, providing details if those details were already provided in the original rulebook.

@chris: If you need help witht the part on the supply system, I can contribute. I also have tables on current industry multipliers and the dependency of movement points and morale. Just PM me if you can use help.

I thought it best to initially just paste the changes into the manual. E.G Like the US letter manual that comes with the last update. The only problem with that is there's been so many updates that there's a lot of red text (the udates). Advantage is it's quick and puts changes altogether.

It will need updating properly but with the updates pasted it should be relatively easy to make proper changes bearing in mind the designer original intent.

Maybe some explanations and/or examples of each element would be good following each rules section? Once the basic work is done I'd be happy to contribute some part of that.
