# War in the East — Game Review

Detailed review (rated Excellent) of War in the East, a TS1000/1500 (16K) and TS2068 (32K) strategy wargame simulating the German invasion of Russia from July 1941. Features a map of Central Europe with terrain types, 11 unit types with different strengths and mobility, 30-month game length, seasonal weather effects, and probabilistic combat outcomes. Uses color and sound on the TS2068; highly recommended for all Timex/Sinclair users.
