Quartermaster General: East Front is a two-player game that depicts the deadly struggle between the Soviet Union and Germany. In June 1941, Germany invaded the Soviet Union, along with Finland, Romania, and other nations. Germany was seeking another lightning victory, like those attained in Poland, France, and elsewhere; four years and millions of lives later, Soviet troops captured Berlin and forced the German surrender. Quartermaster General: East Front provides an in-depth look at one of the major operational theaters of the World War in less than two hours. The game is played over 16 game rounds, each representing three months, starting in Summer 1941 and ending in Spring 1945. —description from the publisher
