Games Like Field Orders: Eastern Front

Field Orders: Eastern Front is a real-time operational wargame of World War II on the Eastern Front: Germany against the Soviet Union. Your units are regiments, divisions, corps and armies.

A CAMPAIGN ARMY THAT REMEMBERS In the campaign your army carries over from battle to battle, with its losses, its veterans and its officers. Between battles, in your headquarters you:
