Here are my impressions of War in the East:
1) With PzC one moves battalions and manuvers divisions, In WitE one moves divisions and manuvers corps and armies.
2) It reminds me a lot of the old GDW "Fire in the East."
3) Great fun! AI seems competent, though I do not know how the AI could handle a full 41-45 campaign.
4) Lots of detail that one can ignore, or get into...such as replacing commanders, etc. Thus, rather a steep learning curve, but nothing unreasonable.
5) Overall...glad I spent the bucks on it, well worth the money.
6) I am playing a 41-45 campaign as the German via the Slitherine system...it is easy to use---when issuing a challenge remember NOT to set a password! I rather like Slitherine as it is easy to use once you run through it one time.
