The Discriminating Gamer

A look at setting up for gameplay of Scenario 1 from Combat! Eastern Front. The game is published by Compass Games and designed by Mathew Hinkle.

Combat! Eastern Front is a stand-alone game pioneering a new epoch in the Combat! series.
The game features the ability to play either side. You can now be the Soviets or the Germans!
The game also features a new series rulebook. The actual changes will be minimal; it is being streamlined and clarified as a foundation for future games
Eastern Front has four new maps, new rules for fighting in the East, new scenarios, and a random scenario generator.

Nightmare Frontier Review

Playing one scenario of Tide of Iron: Next Wave. This is scenario #15: "Road To Ruin". 

Meijel, The Netherlands, 27-30 October 1944. Initially surprised by the German 9th Panzer Division attacking out of the fog, the U.S. 7th Armored Division’s Combat Command A launches a counterattack that stabilizes the front. The 7th suffers so many casualties that it is then moved to a quiet sector in the Ardennes to rest and refit.
