Description
Eastern Front is a huge turn based strategy game set on the Russian Front in World War II. From Joni Nuutinen: by a wargamer for the wargamers since 2011. The latest update: June 2026.
You are both in command of the German WWII armed forces (generals, tanks, infantry, and air force units) and the resource management aspect of the economy. The object of the game is to conquer the Soviet Union as quickly as possible.
This is a large-scale game both by the size of the map and number-of-units, so if you haven't played games by Joni Nuutinen, you may want to start with Cobra, Operation Barbarossa or D-Day before taking on the Eastern Front. Anyone who liked the golden age of physical wargames will find familiar depth here.
What's different on the Eastern Front compared to Operation Barbarossa?
+ Scaled up: larger map; more units; more panzers and partizan movement; more cities; Now you can finally outmaneuver more than just a couple of units to form über-encirclements.
+ Tactical Areas and MPs: Some hexagons are connected together, forming slowly evolving tactical areas, and you can move between such hexagons using tactical MPs instead of regular MPs. This opens up a completely new tactical dimension.
+ Economy & Production: You decide how to use the industrial resources that you capture. Build railway networks, produce Rail MPs, manufacture minefields, manufacture fuel, etc.
+ Railway Network: To navigate the huge game area efficiently, you need to plan where to build the railway network.
+ Generals: Generals support the closest units in battle at the cost of 1 MP, while the front-line units located too far away from Generals might lose 1 MP.
FEATURES:
+ Historical accuracy: Campaign mirrors the historical setup.
+ Long-lasting: Thanks to in-built variation and the game's smart AI technology, each game provides a unique war gaming experience.
+ Experienced units learn new skills, like improved attack or defense performance, extra MPs, damage resistance, etc.
+ Good AI: Instead of just attacking on direct line towards the target, the AI opponent balances between strategic goals and smaller tasks like encircling nearby units.
+ Settings: Various options are available to alter the look of the gaming experience: Change difficulty level, hexagon size, Animation speed, choose icon set for units (NATO or REAL) and cities (Round, Shield, Square, block of houses), decide what is drawn on the map, and much more.
+ Inexpensive: The entire WWII eastern front for the price of a coffee!
"The Eastern Front was a war of extremes. The soldiers fought in the hottest summers and the coldest winters. They marched through forests and swamps, and they fought in the ruins of cities." - Military historian David Glantz
Recent changes: — Direction of travel of both units affects combat (front/flank) — Unset industry/production icon will change to red, while Soviet resources are yellow diamonds — Enabled Tactics in this game too — Patch: disabling air force unit type did not bounce back to default

Great like Joni's others, with much detail, developing context and varied challenge. The game starts out easy and then becomes much more difficult around the time it did historically, with new challenges developing as fatigue, the size of Russia, mud rain and snow set in, and Soviet reinforcements arrive. Reviews saying there is no ZOC overlook the fatigue effects of moving past unsuppressed enemy units, and the 1-2 MPs per unit. The review whining about airstrikes greatly exaggerates, and is incorrect that you can't protect your units - base own air units near them. Airstrikes are not overwhelming. Call For Support, railroads and field hospitals can let you manage losses.

Considering the constraints on developing war games, particularly AI, for tablets, Eastern Front is a true masterpiece. I believe im qualified to say so having played PC Operational level classics for decades, that this is up there with OpArt and the Grigsby games. Eastern Front is a real battle, it ebbs and flows, a rare feature in such games, and you have to relocate entire fronts to stay in the fight. Rail transport and fuel is implemented better than any Eastern Front game I've played on ANY platform. You never truly feel you've won or lost till the end. A classic, the best of the series I've played so far, and I look forward to playing many more.

I enjoyed earlier versions but latest changes to fatigue are so unrealistic to make me stop playing. SS unit sported by two inf and one panzer turn one attacks one Russian unit not behind river or in forest, after two attacks SS unit has 100% fatigue? Explain that.

On turn 12 your Panders will take losses due to strafing that are
impossible to protect against and hard to replace. The Russian side seems
unrealistically strong. And gets stronger with every update. Wish I still
had the old version. Not worth the money.

Uses to be my favorite game, it's a buggy mess now. Added ridges suck. Wish I could download an earlier version. Deleted this version after it bugged out and shut down for the 6th time. Don't waste your time on this "updated" mess.
