Description
Thunder in the East is a World War II wargame that drops you into the midst of the Russian Front, a pivotal and brutal theater of the war. Designed by Frank Chadwick, this game is the first in a series of linked games covering the land campaigns of World War II in Europe. Players take on the roles of either the Axis or the Soviets, commanding divisions, corps, and armies of soldiers, as well as air units representing hundreds of combat aircraft. With a playtime of 480 to 720 minutes, Thunder in the East is an immersive and complex game that challenges players to navigate the intricacies of war. The game's hexagon grid map represents 30 miles of terrain, and each game turn passes 7.5 days, drawing players into the gritty realities of war. While the rules may take some time to learn, the payoff is well worth it for fans of strategic gameplay and historical simulation.
