Few topics lend themselves to wargame simulation like the massive battles fought between the Germans and Soviets on the eastern front during the Second World War. Many periods of history have important and interesting battles worthy of a gamer's attention, but none can match this epic struggle in terms of sheer size, variety and the utterly viscous nature of the fighting. It's no wonder the Ostfront has long been a favorite period among hardcore wargamers. Contrary to popular belief the fighting didn't die out on the eastern front after the "turning point" of Stalingrad.
