Combat! Eastern Front is a solitaire game of man-to-man combat on the Eastern Front in WWII. The player can command a squad of German or Soviet soldiers in various engagements. This game includes the all-new Series Rules, which have been clarified and streamlined from the original rules, and now enable players to control either nationality in this game.

There are 11 tense scenarios across 4 full-size maps ranging from forest partisan warfare, to urban fighting in Stalingrad, to desperate battles on the steppes. A comprehensive random scenario generator further expands the possibilities and will create a limitless supply of unique scenarios. In addition, the included campaign game allows the player to lead a squad of men through 10 battles.

Other new features include:

• Soviet and German OOBs contrast the crude but determined Red Army with the efficient Wehrmacht.
• City fighting with demolition charges, factories, upper stories, fortress buildings, and other forms of close-quarter fighting.
• Light Mortars are long-range nuisances able to saturate an enemy position with explosives.
• Weather and Fire add flavor and realism to any battle.
• Artillery is now a frightful weapon with a new and accurate placement process.
• Confidence rules ensure that a side will not fight to the last man, but may retreat or waver if they sustain too many casualties.
