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).

Graphical software

Post by maie »

Hi everyone,

First of all, I'm sorry if I'm posting in the wrong section.

I've seen that some players use a graphical software or something like that to edit the map (for example, highlighting in red the territory controlled by the enemy) in their AARs.

I'm trying to find out which software is that but no luck so far.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I think that most people use Microsoft Paint or you could probably use Photoshop or something similar.

Thanks for your reply.

Actually I mean something different. Something like the attached picture (I found it in the AAR section)

You can see that the soviet territory is "highlighted" in red, which looks different to me when compared to the default coloring of the enemy territory.

I think Callistrid uses Photoshop. You can do 'layers' which is the effect he produces using Paint.net as well - this is freeware and really a useful upgrade on the basic MS Paint.
