Combat! Eastern Front is a standalone solitaire tactical wargame that places you in command of small groups of soldiers fighting across the brutal Eastern Front of World War II. Designed around detailed man-to-man combat, the game allows players to lead either German or Soviet forces through a wide variety of historical engagements, from partisan actions in dense forests to desperate urban battles in Stalingrad and fierce clashes across the open steppes.
Featuring updated and streamlined Series Rules, this edition expands player options while maintaining the tension and realism that have made the Combat! series a favourite among solitaire wargamers. A sophisticated AI system creates challenging and unpredictable enemy behaviour, ensuring that no two battles play out exactly the same way.

About the Game:
In Combat! Eastern Front, every soldier matters. Players take command of a squad and must carefully balance movement, firepower, morale, and survival while completing mission objectives against an intelligent and dangerous opponent controlled by the game system.
The included scenarios cover a broad range of Eastern Front combat situations, from small-scale partisan operations to intense street fighting and large open-terrain engagements. For those seeking even greater variety, the random scenario generator can create an almost endless number of unique missions, providing exceptional long-term replay value.
The game also includes a campaign system that allows your squad to fight through a series of ten linked battles. Casualties, battlefield performance, and tactical decisions can have lasting consequences, creating a strong sense of continuity and attachment to your soldiers.
Several new features add additional realism and tactical depth. Urban combat includes multi-level buildings, factories, strongpoints, and demolition charges. Mortars provide indirect fire support, artillery has been enhanced with a more accurate targeting system, and weather conditions can dramatically affect battlefield operations. Confidence and morale rules ensure troops react realistically under pressure, with units potentially retreating, hesitating, or losing effectiveness after suffering heavy casualties.
With its detailed tactical gameplay, strong historical flavour, and highly regarded solitaire system, Combat! Eastern Front delivers an immersive World War II combat experience that rewards careful planning, adaptability, and sound leadership.
