Just purchased my copy on Fanatical: Gary Grigsby's War in the East 2 | PC Steam Game | Fanatical
As far as I can tell, this is the lowest historical price. Just wanted to share the wealth, so to speak.
Suppose you find the only really good price. However, it can't be sold to North Americans, only Latin Americans.
Can you buy by simply ticking Latin America as your region or do these sites look at your IP number?
If you succeed in buying the key with this rouge, will Steam accept it and let you play the game?
I'm asking for a friend.
I’m taking some classes related to world war 1 and it has gotten me interested in all the fronts away from France. Bulgaria, Africa, etc… I’ve tried the ww1 mod for hearts of iron but I can’t help thinking a purpose built game would be better. What do you guys think is the best game that covers the global aspect of the war?
Is this game built on the same engine as the Combat Mission gsmes.
So I have tried Total War, since it's what fits the best, but I still find the combat to not be amazing, sometimes it can have wonky mechanics with bad AI. I'm more looking for a more competetive game, with focus on commanding the battles, not looking for somthing arcady, and with scale.
Does such a game exist?
Okay, I know they are all very different games. I know what each of these games are, and I watch gameplay videos of these games in bed when I don't feel like doing anything.
If I were to have the budget for one of these games, which should I get? I would like to prioritise more on current content and functionality, longevity and replayability in their current states.
Thanks!
I know it's by far the most popular wargame on the market by ten thousandfold, but I'd like to hear from wargaming veterans and grognards why it has maintained such popularity after nearly 10 years. Is it the marketing, continued support, graphics, and presentation that don't look like they're from 1998, or is the game actually just that good?
I'm not sure how many of you are familiar with the mobile game wargame constructor, it looks like milsketch but its a fully playable experience and it comes with an editor so you could create a "wargame" in any area of the world(using their google maps overlay) at any operational level. The issue is that it just sucks, the combat is very basic and the fact that its mobile leaves possibilities lacking, if anyone knows some software for computer that is similar or as close to this as possible please help me out, what im basically looking for is a software i could create and play through my own hypothetical scenarios in.
This might be a weird place to ask but this game being as niche as it is doesn't have a lot of information about running on Linux.
I use steam so Proton but when I click any of the options on the main menu it automatically closes and I'm not sure how to start troubleshooting.
I am using Hyprland as my wm.

So, a simple question: does anyone know a similar game to WitE2 but then multiplayer? Mentioning a game that only supports PBEM is O.K., but please mention it. Thank you!
Looking for an actively played game with lots of content and players to play against and discuss the game with.
I'm not looking for something as intense as a DCS.
I'm interested in WW II to the present.
A Battle of Britain game would be nice.
Another good one is a game where you are in command of Allied bombers attacking Germany. I really like B-17s.
Then there's the Korean and Vietnam wars. You have jets in both and aircraft carrriers.
Finally, there's the Mid-east wars.
Have I missed anything?
There is a very cartoony B-17 game but cartoony is not my cuppa-tea, if you catch my drift.
Pls people help me to find a game rts like fog of war, to have control over every soldier, to collect weapons, ammunitions, repair vehicles etc
Could be confirmation bias and the fact that I’m new to this hobby, but WWII seems to represent the vast majority of wargames. My question is, why?
I have a few thoughts and would love to hear from those who have been at this for a while.
Sheer quantity of significant conflicts compared to other wars.
The technologies available on land, air, and sea compared to earlier wars.
The sheer scale of the conflict and how many countries were involved. Lots of possibilities for different locales and circumstances.
The average age of people who are into war games aligns with an interest in WWII. Maybe?
The fact that there were actual battle lines, not primarily guerrilla warfare like in Vietnam, which could be harder to replicate well on tabletop, virtual or analog.
The cultural resonance of WWII compared to other wars. Eh, I dunno. Vietnam was another watershed moment in the US, which is the perspective I’m speaking from.
Hello everyone, lately I have been paying attention to WitP AD but I would like to know if you know of other similar "monster" type games, that is, WW II games with large doses of logistics management and dozens of units to manage, if it is from the same theater better, I already know games like War in the East but it doesn't seem the same as WitP which is another level higher. Thank you
Hey all - looking for a recommendation- see above. Something between Xcom/jagged alliance and the old Close Combat series. Any recommendations would be appreciated! TIA
Hey. I've been trying to log back into the website to redownload my games after I did a computer upgrade. But whenever I pull up pages for the website all I see is a blank white screen. The website worked fine once before when I first booted up the upgraded computer. Now it's not working. Anyone else have this issue?
I am one of those oddballs who loved the game but never got to finish it. The version on Matrix Games is almost unplayable.
Is there anything else out there that simulates that strategic bombing campaigns of WW 2?
Hey everyone, so following this post I made a few days ago, I bought the game and, yesterday, I played the three tutorial scenarios with the guide next to me.
The problem is that they were designed for AT Classic and now that the game has evolved a lot with Phoenix, I'm wondering where to start.
Is there a scenario designed for newcomers?
A specific procedural generation setting that could provide a cool discovery campaign?
Thank you!
