Fire in the East
Europa I: The Russian Front, 1941-1942

  • Year of Publication: 1984
  • Publisher: Game Designers’ Workshop
  • Design: John M. Astell, Paul R. Banner, Frank Chadwick, and Marc Miller

Fire in the East covers the war in the Soviet Union from the start of the Barbarossa invasion in June 1941 through the end of the Soviet winter counteroffensive in March 1942. It requires two players, with one player controlling the German and German-allied (Rumanian, Finnish, etc.) forces and the other controlling the various Soviet forces: regular troops, militia divisions, and Guards formations. The size of the game makes it well suited to team play: each side can easily be played by a team of two or three players.
