About the game
Russian Front is a wargame that immerses you in the largest and most costly military campaign of World War II: the Eastern Front. Commanding the forces of the Soviet Union or Nazi Germany and its allies, you'll face epic battles on land, sea, and air. The game offers multiple scenarios, starting in 1941, 1942, or 1943, each with its own historical challenge. The combat system is unique, with units suffering incremental losses and battles that can span multiple rounds. Basic rules allow beginners to start quickly, while advanced rules add layers of complexity for veterans. Get ready for hours of intense strategy, where every decision can change the course of the war.
