You certainly had a solid list, I’m just surprised you left Memoir ‘44 Eastern Front off the list, at very least it would have been either at my 9 or 10 spot.
I haven’t played the Eastern Front expansion for Memoir ’44. Maybe someday.
I think it’s a great expansion.
Snipers, minefields, Ski Troops, winter terrain, Soviet Commisar.
(Stalingrad) Red Barricades Factory Complex is one of the best Memoir ‘44 standard scenarios of all time.
Definitely worth checking out.
Memoir’s Sword of Stalingrad Battlemap expansion is also great. Has a standard scenario based on Pavlov’s house as well. Comes with Urban Combat cards.
@@mrp4242 Sounds like fun. Does it have scenarios for Overlord?
Everytime I watch one of your vids, I wind up buying the game or one of the games your are highlighting! It’s dangerous to my bank account to watch your vids! Lol 😄
Danger is my middle name. Sometimes I wish it were Bill or George or Louis. You know, something normal.

I enjoyed your list. We have two cross overs, The Russian Campaign and Stalingrad: Advance to the Volga. Both great games. I played a lot of hex and counter Eastern front games growing up, starting with Panzer Leader and then Squad Leader, and also Drang Nach Osten. Two memorable games for me came from SPI: Panzergrupoe Guderian (where the Russian units were unknown till combat); and The Winter War (USSR vs Finland). Cheers.
Thanks! I appreciate your feedback.
Freezing Inferno is soon good. Thank you so much for the recommendation. I was holding out for Red Winter but Freezing Inferno didn’t disappoint! What a fun game.
Indeed. Thanks.
Soon but not yet?
I just got my first GMT game (“Bayonets & Tomahawks”) this week through GMT’s P500 program. I’m very impressed. Based on this video, I added the Russian Campaign Deluxe 5th Edition to my P500 list. I also added the Russian Campaign Mounted Maps since it seems that the maps in the core game are just paper maps. I’m hoping you can maybe confirm that one way or the other.
Mine is a paper map.
very cool video, on the fence for race to the Rine and Russian campaign game
Race for the Rhine is the better game, IMHO. But they are both a lot of fun.
I just want say some of mine favs, Your list is newer games so I understand. But I would say you have a good list Russian Campaign I bought the 1st ed at Avalon Hill in Baltimore. At the time I was there there were playing Battlelines Submarine. At the time I didn’t know it. I think one of the guys was Don Greenwood and I think they were working it because they had purchased it from Battleline for there version. But the games I like The Columbia’s East Front, AH”s Turrning Point Stalingrad, ASL’s Red Barricades and No Retreat: Russian Front.
Sounds like some good stuff there. Thanks.
Wow 5 out of ten for our first published module. Thanks for this rating! I think you will even be impressed by our upcoming Assault Sicily 43 Gela Beachhead which will be available in 2024.
Looking forward to Sicily 43. Thanks!
As usual: great list. I just realised that with exception of Assault Red Horizon and both games from mr. Thompson I don’t have many East front games… Interesting!
Time to get more?
Lots of choices for tactical games; I particularly have fun with Nations at War – love the feelings of roll-to-hit and roll-to-save.
Sounds like fun.
Interesting list, thanks. I have played SPI’s 1976 ‘War in the East’. Though they are too heavy really, I am still keen to get ‘Jaws of Victory’ and ‘Stalingrad ’42’ to the table. I have a better chance with ‘Race to Moscow’ (definately the most original of your list). Avalon Hill ‘Squad Leader’ still shines.
Thanks. Sounds like some fun games there.
Great list, thanks
Thank you!
Great list Cody. I was a little surprised not to see one of: Conflict of Heroes Awakening The Bear, Old School Tactical Vol 1, or Heroes of The Bitter Harvest on there somewhere. Still, a great mix of the new and the old, hex and counter, and “other”. 🙂
Yeah, I haven’t played them. Thanks!
Conflict of Heroes is outstanding! Worth your time Cody!
@@CreativeCitiesProd Thanks!
Interesting list – very glad to see The Russian Campaign still doing it
Good game.
My son came to the end of his 4th year in college, but he didn’t want to go to the ceremony or receive his diploma as he likes to procrastinate?!
He was a Stalin-Grad 😅
Fantastic!
I love your list and your videos in general. This one was worth waiting till then end.
Thanks. I appreciate it.
If you lived in the DFW area I would totally meet up and ensure that when you did some of these reviews, you could proudly say you played them two player
Thanks. I left DFW in 2020. Still miss it.
My favorites are EastFront 2 from Columbia Game,
Streets of Stalingrad by L2 Design
Turning point Stalingrad by Avalon Hill
Red Barricade for Advance Squad Leader also bt Avalon Hill
And Panzerguppe Guderian by SPI
I heard good things about Storm Over Stalingrad but have not played it yet.
Sound like some fun games. Thanks!
Great list sir.
Thank you.
