For those of you still waiting to pull the trigger, there is a new review of War in the East, along with an AAR of the Road to Smolensk scenario, available on my blog.

I can promise that the review will include at least one terrible fruit simile.

You can find it here: Fog of Wargames.

I think I'm sold on this now. I just don't know if I have the brain power to wrap it around my head. We shall see. :)

I think you will be pleasantly surprised. I think it rewards exploration, so going in with rather limited knowledge is not going to render the game unplayable. I was pleased with how easy it was to start just moving the units around. I played through the tutorial and road to minsk scenarios without using any function other than moving my counters, and managed to do fine, at least on the easier difficulty levels.

Have fun!

Knavery, Don't doubt your brain power. This game does not really require the brain power of someone playing scrabble. It is a deep game requiring thought. Lot's of thinking before you send your tanks off in all directions.

Get the game.

Good, positive review.

Agree good review. Like the site.

Thanks guys. I am thinking about posting reviews of some stuff that came out last year, like Decisive Campaigns: WtP, Hannibal, Field of Glory, etc. Perhaps a Hannibal AAR as well, although that could be embarrassing.
