Almost certainly the most important wargame to come out in the past ten years.
War in the East’s scenarios range from perfect packages of bite-sized blitzkrieg to Tarkovsky-length trials of attentional fortitude.
War in the East finally gets Big Detail right by making sure that the whole thing works when you step back ten paces.

Translated from Finnish] - Luckily every now and then we see games that take their genre to the next level. Strategy game guru Gary Grigsby's War in the East is one of these games. For the fans of hex strategy games this is the best thing since, well, the invention of hexes.

[Translated from French] It’s hard to find something that doesn’t work in a game that’s almost perfect in every aspect.
92/100 - Gamer's Hall
[Translated from German] Gary Grigsby and his team once again surpass their previous works in size and provide us with not only the ultimate simulation on the eastern front, but one of the best hex-strategy titles ever.

It is a monumental game, insanely well researched and amazingly easy to get started on. Kudos to 2by3 for this game. To me, this is a classic already.

[Translated from French] War in the East is by many aspects a magnificent game.
The Wargamer
The word definitive should not be used lightly but, at this point, this product is the definitive game for the Eastern Front.
Real and Simulated Wars
Some people see an unsurmountable mountain in the sheer size of this game. I see opportunities. Others gasp at its price. I rejoice at the prospect of years of quality gaming. Whatever your take may be, this is not a war game that will go un-noticed in the history of the hobby.
Tacticular Cancer
Awe-inspiring, beautiful and complex it is clearly a labour of love from a master of his craft; a love letter to grognards everywhere.
Dome.fi [Translation]
War in the East is the grandest, largest and most enjoyable simulation of the German-Russian war ever.
Fog of Wargames
War in the East is a fantastic wargame. It is both accessible (for its genre) and deep. If you are interested in wargames, War in the East is an essential purchase.
6/8 - Out of Eight Reviews
The best thing about War in the East is the sheer scale of the game, almost perfectly simulating in intense struggle for Russia during World War II.
