"In short, if you would allow me to be so bold as to spend your money; buy this game. You won�t regret it!"

"First impressions: Gary Grigsby�s War in the East 2 improves upon a masterpiece. A sequel that gets everything right"

"9.5 / 10 - But, if you�re willing to put in the effort, WitE2 is unparalleled in the strategic experience that it can offer. Put simply, it is a masterpiece of game design and execution."

"This brings us to the ultimate question that is to buy or not to buy? As an avid wargamer, I would say, for God�s sake, what are you waiting for?"

"For new players, it may still seem daunting, but the information is much more accessible than it has ever been, and if a monster game like this seems at all appealing, I recommend taking the plunge."
https://letstalkaboutwargames.wordpress.com/2021/03/28/gary-grigsbys-war-in-the-east-2-frist-impressions/

"There�s SO much more that I cannot really do it justice in a first impressions piece. If you enjoy grand strategic wargaming on your PC, have an affinity for the Eastern Front historically, and don�t mind getting lost in a good amount of detail, you�ll absolutely love this game. "

"Beim Anblick von War in the East 2 d�rften sich Geschichtsfans mit besonderem Interesse am Zweiten Weltkrieg die Finger lecken. Denn das Hardcore- und Hexfeld-Strategiespiel hebt sich vor allem durch seine Komplexit�t ab. Davon zeugt auch das Handbuch: Ein W�lzer mit 520 Seiten."

Thanks for this. Having lived WiTE1 since it came out and been involved in WiTE2 for the last 6+ months at times I can't see the wood for the trees. It is always good to get an outsiders point of view.

The German review looks great, I think....

congratulation Erik all great reviews all over, the only bad I have heard about WITE2 is the lack of time to play

The "letstalkaboutwargames.wordpress" review mirrored my feeling towards this game. Part of its brilliance is that the player can immerse himself as much or as little as he wishes. That's only part of its brilliance mind you. I have been playing wargames since the mid-1970s, - I've played just about all of them - and this one is the most pleasing experience so far. Truly a masterpiece. I have played nothing else since it came out. Very satisfying!
