Description
Combat! Volume 4 takes the game series to the Eastern Front. That of course means Soviets versus Germans. This volume is a stand-alone game with nothing else needed to play.
The game will feature the ability to play either side, pioneering a new epoch in the Combat! series. You can now be the Soviets or the Germans! The game will also feature a new series rulebook. The actual changes will be minimal; it is being streamlined and clarified as a foundation for future games
Eastern Front features four new maps, new rules for fighting in the East, new scenarios, and a random scenario generator.
