WITE 1 advanced concepts

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).

WITE 1 advanced concepts

Post by CaptainKoloth »

Hello everyone:

Merry Christmas! I've been able to use the holidays this year to FINALLY start really putting some time into WITE and am really enjoying it (I have WITE 2 also, I have an exceedingly long backlog 😁).

After a bunch of AARs, YouTube tutorials, and the manual, I'm finally at the point of "pretty comfortable with rushing as the Axis to Minsk and Leningrad in 1941". I can move units around pretty effectively and do the basics of administration, reassign commanders, etc.

Of course, I realize there's an enormous amount of additional depth to the game, and the material I've been reading/watching doesn't really cover this "beyond Axis 1941 material"- for example, partisans, factory production at scale, producing oil the fine points of when to refit or assign new commanders, naval transport, upgrading factories etc.

Is there a good "advanced tutorial" or AAR I can look at to learn this stuff? I'm trying to avoid trolling through all 80 hour-long parts of a YouTube Let's Play to find it if I can.
