This is one of the best strategy games of all time. War in the East 2 is a deep simulation of the Eastern Front of WW2 from 1941 - 1945. What makes this game brilliant is that although it is ostensibly very complex and daunting, new players can easily get away with only having a superficial understanding of the game while still being able to have a blast. Another reviewer (to paraphrase) mentioned the complexity of the systems is akin to smoke and mirrors, however I strongly disagree. The level of detailed information you can access is quite astonishing. You can quite literally view information, all the way from the broad OOB, down to the individual firearms your soldiers carry. Depending on how much you want to engage with the mechanics of this game, the more complex aspects like logistics or air directives can be automated via the AI which just leaves you to handle what I think many would consider the most fun part of this game, ordering around your divisions and fighting a large-scale war. All of the mechanics in this game do intersect, which means it helps to be able to understand it on a deeper level, but again it is not a requirement. I would quite easily recommend this game to everyone, and I highly encourage you to read the manual should you decide to pick it up. If that's too tedious, a YouTuber called "Strategy Gaming Dojo" has a playlist of incredibly informative and helpful video tutorials that demonstrate the basics. Simply put, WITE2 is an incredibly addictive, fun WW2 strategy game that, for me, blows similar games out of the water with it's absolutely insane depth.
As someone else has already said, it's actually possible to play this game at a very superficial level, as just a "pushing counters round the map" exercise. But there's such an enormous, incredibly detailed engine under the hood. And every (rewarding) detail you ingest from the 520 page manual helps you understand the game, and play the game, better. It's a game that rewards careful, slow, detailed planning and focus.
Once you downgrade the germans to the lowest level on the balance screen you have a good game. Like almost all games on the russo german war the germans are made far far too strong. When you read the letters and diaries of the germans officers and men you find that the war against russia was hard from the first week and much harder then the campaigns against the poles french and english.
