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).

The screens posted are not best quality but since the artist is still working on the graphics (interface mainly) you will all have to wait for a while before seeing them with more details. In my opinion the counters look great, colorful and easy to distinguish to what HQ they're attached, but that's at a higher zoom level.

Heres one Cliff...This shows a breakthough over the Depnier by Guderian, he's short one PzC as I sent it south of the marshes...This is in the shaded mode that shows newly taken areas. You will notice that armys have the same colors and you can change then to keep organization as you want...The units with "R" were routed in battle and fell back...

I can't recall seeing a board with squares instead of hexes since Lou Zocchi's Battle of Britain.

I think that's excellent. Sick to death of hexes.

Many thanks for the extra screen shots Pyledriver. Please keep them coming.

What do the numbers on the bottom of the counters represent (such as 0-50 etc.)?

You have the option to toggle between attack/move and attack/ defense values also you can leave the counters without displaying any values.

Unit counters display lots of info noticed the small triangles on the top side corners, the one at the left is color coded from green to red meaning green maximum and red minimum, it shows info on morale, supply... you toggle between them, the triangle on the right side gives you info about how much movement is left of each unit.

No, the art on that is still in the works. We're actually going to be fairly sparing with screenshots since we're still in alpha and a lot is still being worked on. We'd rather show more of the graphics when they are mostly finished so that you don't form first impressions from placeholders.

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

OK then. My comment on squares was not meant as a complaint. It just brought back fond memories of Lou's game from so many years ago.

The hexes are there, just take a closer look they're hard to notice right now, but that's on the works, the square system is also there, still don't know what the final decision will be, personally I like the hexes more but don't mind having the map divided by squares as it is now.

The date in the top right corner of those screenies above:

Is that 8th July or 7th August ??????

My preferred date format: 7-Dec-1941

Please change the date format!
