Russian Front is our most ambitious strategy game yet, an operational-level game with a wider scope than any of our previous titles. The battle for the Russian Front was a pivotal moment in World War 2, and this game gives it the scale it deserves. "The interface is just so clean, intuitive and functional that I was able to get past the learning curve in no time at all, and get right down to the business of developing tactics to beat the game." - Mark D., Grognard.com "Passed Inspection: Low price, Good AI, good depth of play" - Armchair General (Review score: 91%) Experience grand strategy across the entire theatre of the Eastern Front; the military conflict that many consider to be the iconic attacker/defender scenario. Command massive armies at your fingertips, in this fully 3D turn-based simulation of one of the largest military campaigns in history, playable as both Germans and Russians. Start in the early days of Operation Barbarossa and follow the German invasion of Russia through to its ultimate failure. Or start later in the war and jump straight into the Russian counter push to Berlin. A massive 108 turn campaign will take you from the opening stages to a final, overwhelming Russian offensive. Four shorter Operations, spanning 16 turns each, take place from June to December of each year and offer a more condensed experience. The bitter weather on the Eastern Front was as much a danger as the opposing forces, and the game reflects this with a seasonal cycle that has a profound effect on your tactics as you struggle to hold out through the vicious Winter until reinforcements arrive in Summer. Players must also deal with fog of war effects, and will be able to cut off their opponent's supply lines, while making sure their own stay secure. Key Features - Play the colossal 108 turn campaign, or pick from 4 other points in history to start from. - Large 3D map representing the entire Eastern Front; stretching from Berlin to Stalingrad. - Play as both the Soviet and German army, each with unique tanks, vehicles and uniforms. - 4 Historical Operations: Barbarossa, Case Blue, Citadel and Bagration. - Real historical Corps and Armies from several countries. - Strategically reinforce units in vital locations. - Selectable difficulty to tailor your experience to your play style. - Hours of Gameplay Find us on Facebook - facebook.com/huntedcow

Has huge powerful units that just sit on defense. No idea why. Win 95% of the time on hardest settings but game will not let you win. If you meet the victory conditions, it crashes every time. Wish they would fix game! This is my favorite campaign. Oh, and add in the air units please. ### 2/5 — Should have read the reviews *2021-05-11, version 1.8* The game is very good, except that it crashes after a few turns when the computer is playing. I tried to update the app and my iPad but kept crashing. ### 1/5 — USING Latest iPadOS CRASHES IMMEDIATELY *2021-03-07, version 1.7* CRASHES immediately with the LATEST iPadOS upon an opening attempt! Formerly it would crash late in a game when Victory Level was reached. It was a FUN GAME to relax with. My purchase was motivated by a very old Apple II computer Russian front game by SSG in the 1980s. I smile now, but that game had clumps of opposing army icons with no continuous frontlines (the “missing” units were said to be lesser military forces unable force an effective attack). Loved it! ### 2/5 — Still Crashes *2020-11-10, version 1.7* Game play is great, BUT it ALWAYS crashes before a game can be completed. ### 2/5 — Awesome Game *2020-05-22, version 1.7* Except it crashes just as you’re winning. Don’t know if the AI is just throwing a fit, or if the game designers got a clunker on their hands. Should be a easy fix. Just depends on which country they come from!!!! And why bother have Campaign games. I’ve never gotten past 15 turns in a 108 turn game that’s supposed to last 4 years in game time. Lucky to get 3 mos/14-16 turns. Lame, lame, lame. Otherwise, it’s really an awesome game. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2018-07-08, version 1.7* This was a great game and I could play it to the end. Now all it does is crash. Please fix this is a great game just make the final repairs and you can " make it great again" ### 1/5 — Heed the warning, I didn’t and paid dearly *2017-12-16, version 1.7* December 16, 2017 - I saw that the complaints were over a year or two old AND that the developer had recently updated the app for iOS 11. So I thought surely the bugs had been remedied. I passed along my cash and bought this digital snake oil. Before writing this review I contacted the dev via email, no response, crickets. Do not buy this product. It runs well and looks good right up to the near end and then crashes. After that it repeatedly crashes to the point of not restarting even after device cold boot. Buyer Beware. Caveat Emptor (loosely translated means “empty your wallet at the Cave (aka App Store)with no recourse.”) ### 1/5 — Crashes, Hex Wars needs to fix their software *2017-09-08, version 1.6* Can't believe, spent good money on their software and they don't maintain. Software crashes during a turn. Terrible! Especially since this isn't rocket science. Save your money can keep looking. Don't buy Hex War. ### 1/5 — Bad game *2017-02-17, version 1.6* This game is a consent problem, continues to crash and half the time it won,t even load. Apparently the designers don,t care to fix any of the constant crashes. Don,t waste your money. ### 5/5 — Best strategy game in a decade - Outstanding!!! *2016-10-31, version 1.6* This is a big game that you can also play in small segments. Congratulations to the authors of this excellent gameplay. I am a veteran of many battle simulation strategy games, and this is a masterpiece. I hope the author will come out with another version of this gameplay. I am glad I ignored some of the early negative reviews, a few times the game got stuck, and I just went to main menu, so as to simply resume the game. For anyone who with interest in WWII and into strategy games, this is a must-have. ## Frequently asked questions about Russian Front ### What is Russian Front?
