"Eastern Front" is a reprint of the original "Panzer Grenadier" game by Avalanche Press. However, it's much more than just a reprint, with the game expanded noticeably and a new revision of the rules, taking lessons learned throughout the series. Art has also seen a major update, along with a number of other improvements:

  • The new maps will use the style Terry Moore Strickland showed so well with Beyond Normandy.
  • There’s twice as much playing area from which to choose, as there has been a move from four to eight maps
  • In addition to infantry, the Germans also now have two full squadrons of cavalry.
  • A new concept is added for the first time to the series, the vehicles known as prime movers. These are tracked or semi-tracked vehicles like the Soviet Komsomolets or the German SdKfz-7. They have better performance off the road than the game’s standard trucks, but cannot carry infantry.
  • The Soviets received a much greater overhaul than the Germans. New artillery pieces include the 107 mm cannon and 76.2 mm mountain gun. A new “mixed” type of infantry is available, anti-tank rifle platoons. There are two new flavors of armored car: the FAI and Ba6 in addition to the Ba10m found in the first edition. The stable of tanks is vast.
  • The Romanian army is now represented
  • All 50 scenarios from the original Panzer Grenadier have been included, as well as 62 new scenarios, for a total of 112.
