Doug, cheers on a great video! I've had it running in the background while I accomplish non-game stuff :) I think this game LOOKS like a winner, and the sound bytes I've heard make it seem like you enjoyed yourself. I think I could talk the wife into it maybe twice a year at least haha.
As a East Front geek, I consider this game and standing on its own in the series, and on pair with the other digestible titles: “No Retreat”, “Iron, Blood, Snow & Mud”, “Blitz in the East - The Russian Campaign 1941 - 45”.
I didn't even know this game existed. Played the WW2 and wasn't that impressed. I hear the WW1 game is better. What's your experience with this series and how does this compare?
I would not call myself experienced with this series. Perhaps four games of 1914 and the WWII game. This feels more fluid with the movement, it’s only two player, there is no “prepare” mechanic (if I am remembering that correctly), but the hand sizes are reduced. But the Contingency cards are a nice touch. I very much like the look of this one.
Hi, Michael, I hope you're well :) I have not played any of them yet, but I picked 1914 for my family. My research shows that WW2 version 2 is "fixed" compared with WW2 version 1. And the "ideal" player counts for this series of games is supposedly WW2 is 6; 1914 is 5; Victory or Death is 4; Cold War is 3; and this game, East Front is 2. So if you have a player count in mind, you can pick a game that matches.
