Tank Battle: East Front Reviews

I bought the whole civil war series which is awesome by the way now i'm starting on the Tank Battle series which is also a awesome series! Great games!

Not a wargame. More of a puzzle game. Clearly made for mobile devices then just ported to PC.

Good hex game although a few scenarios do seem unbeatable. Reminds me of the old "Steel Panthers" game. Good value for the money.

A simplified smaller version of Panzer Corps but a lot of fun, annoyingly half the time I play when I beat a level it will freeze up. A simple ctrl+alt+delete and task manager then end tank battle takes me out. If you can be bothered dealing with that annoying glitch I'd say pick it up maybe on sale, like Tank Battle: North Africa I'm enjoying my time with it. One of those easy to play games that don't require a lot of time or stress.

Good fun system which is challenging at the same time. No obvious problems with the scenarios or the game engine. At this price extremely good value for the number of scenarios you get!

TANK BATTLE: EAST FRONT is one of HexWar's tactical, hex- and turn-based, single-player World War Two TANK BATTLE game series. For the price, you definitely get bang for your buck, with 128 scenarios (by my count) included in the latest update, covering the start of Germany's invasion of Russia in June 1941 through to the Battle of Berlin in April-May 1945. Game scale is unspecified but tactical, with ranged combat including direct and indirect fire, plus air support. Three AI difficulty levels are included, plus "historical mode" which is meant to accurately simulate the historical strengths and weaknesses of the various unit types and weapon systems, making the game significantly more difficult, at least in my experience. Game complexity is low/introductory, and some scenarios are quite easy, though others are highly difficult, requiring spot-on tactics, timing and execution. For a while, I was worried that HexWar was not responding to customer reports of bugs and game issues (e-mail [email protected]), but the last few months they seem to be really on top of things, issuing repeated updates and fixing issues with many of their games. I'm grateful as there are not many wargame developers making releases for Apple's macOS. Recommended.

Fairly simple, but a good WW2 tactical strategy game./

Brings back memories of Avalon Hill board games like Panzerblitz or Squad Leader (a little). A lot of entertainment for such a low price! Plenty of scenarios and challenges.

Tank Battle: East Front is a continuation of the Tank Battle series of games by the Game Developer HexWar Games. This game takes place on the Eastern Front of the Second World War between the Germans and the Russians from 1941 to 1945. I really enjoy this game. You play has both the Germans and the Russians in different campaigns in the game. I think that you get a lot of content for the price of this game. I also think that they also have a pretty good Tutorial Campaign in the game which teaches you all the basic stuff you need to know to play the game. I also like this game because it is a lot of just point and click with your mouse to move your units around and to get your units to fight. I can zoom in and out on the maps real easy with my mouse wheel. I can also use my mouse to move around on the maps. I hope that HexWar Games make more of these kind of games to play on the PC in the future along with their Civil War series of games which I also really enjoy playing.

The game is more like a puzzle game than a tactical military game. The maps are small. Which limits manouvers and forces you to take linear paths across enemy ambushes and minefields. The replayability through maps is thereby limited and the difficutlty lies mainly in accomplishing scenarios within the limited time which often forces you to take more direct approaches to your victory locations. I am not sure if you are allowed to bring your untis through the linked scenarios in a campaign or if you start over with each map. If that is the case it only adds to the let down of the game. Sorry but buy wars and battles: Normandy instead.
