If you like panzer general style, this is definitely a must to buy game. Waiting the 3rd game of the series, please hurry Slitherine!!!. Meh too Simple. I've logged 18 hours on this game so far and plan to get to 100 in the next couple of months. I simply can't get enough of this World War 2 tactical sim. It has it all: Every flavor of infantry and every type of Tank, Assault Gun, and APC. It even allows you (and the AI) to call in Artillery Strikes and Air Strikes.While it is turn-based IGO-UGO, units belonging to the player who is not moving get reaction fire, so moving up to the enemy's position is tricky. You need to maneuver properly, using ground cover and even smoke to cover your approach. A little prep fire from your tanks, mortars and artillery isn't a bad idea either. ;-)The AI is way better than average and at the normal level will give even the best player a bloody nose if they are not careful. The game ships with several campaigns (2 as the Germans, and 2 as the Russians) and a skirmish mode so that you can fight random battles, so there's a ton of play time right out of the box. I'm playing the first campaign as the Germans and I'm 18 hours in and about half done. The publisher has also promised more content down the road.Each battle in the campaign so far has had a unique flavor. These aren't just the same battle fought over and over. And the historical context makes you feel like you're actually there, facing the challenges that a Commander in World War 2 would have faced.I have played most WW2 tactical games and believe that this is the best of them all. If you enjoyed Steel Panthers, Squad Leader, Close Assault, Conflict of Heroes, you will want to pick up this game.Highly Recommended!. I was a massive fan of BA1. It did everything right and didnt try to do anything too fancy. WHat it did, it did very well for a turn based tactical game. BA2 does not try to change anything. It knows exactly what it is. The maps are intense and the units are all well designed and balanced. Its great playing as the germans for a change too. The entire campaign is just pretty overkill and very long. One of the best new features is the fan made maps and how easy it is for you to just install them. much credit for that little feature though I have yet to try it. Having a lot of fun with BA2 and its well worth its price tag. Simplicity meets complexity in a splendid duo. At first look, this game is a simple grid-based turn-based strategy game -- move your units and shoot the bad dudes. At second look, it is an encyclopedia on armour penetration at different ranges. At third look, it is the logistical puzzle of keeping your troops in fighting condition while providing support via call-ins. The more you keep looking, the more aspects you realize. This creates an experience that is deep and immersive, while being easy to pick up and play. This game boasts a great unit variety for Germany and the CCCP through 1940 to 1945. The Campaign carries you through the war as either of the two nations, allowing the user to keep units from mission to mission and purchase them at will. If that is not enough replayability, there is also a custom battle and map generator. The fun never ends?This game has a comic book art style mixed with sub-par graphics and a tablet GUI. I do not like any of these creative choices. The comic book style takes me out of the wear-and-tear of the Eastern Front. The Tablet GUI is clunky and sometimes down-right infuriating. These issues are what prevents this game from being a classic.. OVERALL: 7/10BA2 is an extremely easy, straightforward, and somehow addictive game loosely based on WWII Eastern Front battles. This is NOT a wargame. This is not a simulation. Once that is clear, you can have some good fun with it.PROS:+ You can pretty much delve in without reading the manual, and it’s easy to get better at it fast+ the UI is alright, no headaches there+ Many scenarios, battles, mini-campaigns to keep you entertained in a non-stressful way for many hours, the DLCs are good value+ Virtually bug-freeCONS:- The game mechanics are so far from even attempting to simulate real war aspects that there is really no immersion- Once you have played both sides and completed the many scenarios, there’s no further replayability unless you play vs a human player- The sounds are usually irrelevant in this kind of game, but these are horrible, dated and recycled.- Units cannot be stacked in the same hex: this is an extreme simplification for a wargameIn conclusion, BA2 Eastern Front is a fun, low commitment, guilty pleasure that lasts longs enough and leaves before overstaying its welcome.
