Russian Campaign is the best East Front game I’ve ever played.

SPI made many East Front games. All were quite playable

I keep coming back to this series of your videos. I must say I love the videos. I've picked up some of my most favourites from this video series. Fighting Formations most notably.

Thank you, Marco, for this series of videos. Very fun to watch.

I know it's older, but what a brilliant series! Thank you :)

Thanks Marco. Looking forward to the 3rd part of the announced Trilogy :)

CoH Awakening the Bear is my current favorite one, mainly because I have a person to play it with but also because every game so far has been close, I have never lost by a wide margin or won by a wide margin.

He is very pleasant, I would have liked him to show more of each game, the map board, and pieces.

Napoleonic? Contemporary? Yes please! Thanks for a fascinating overview.

Overall nicely done :)

Great! Thanks! I don't even like having money.

Marco, what no Up Front , oh the Kommizar and the Partizans , panerfausts and magnetic mines + they throw in some Ami units , ( lend lease)

Waiting for more. Ancient, middle age! Etc.

Great list! You forgot Band of Brothers: Ghost Panzer though. It takes the same system you liked in Band of Brothers: Screaming Eagles and streamline it a bit more. In addition it has much more interesting scenarios.

A Victory Denied is ok, a Victory Lost is so much better (and simpler!)

Thanks Marco - your neck seems to be very thin

it was interesting to listen to your favorite list. I note the absence of such classic as Trial os Strengh (Panther Games) or of OCS titles - everyone of them definitely on my top ten list, with Enemy at the Gates number 1. you don't like the system or you have not tried it?

I suspect that Marco prefers games that are playable in a reasonable amount of time.

Glad you picked Old School Tactical. I have ordered it and it is probably being pulled by a 40 mule team to my door as we speak. I can't wait to play it in person instead of living vicariously through you :-)

I bought the 3 core games and the 5 expansions in digital/download editions (excluding Pocket Battles) on Wargame Vault for $125 US. It does take away from the production values, but also from the $500+ price tag. It is a great way to try the whole system at the price of one or two games if you enjoy print-and-play.

I realise this is an old comment but what did you think of OST? Do you know if it plays well as a solo game?

Which one do like more Marco, Caucuses Campaign or Ukraine 43? I know both are sort of sister games and thus I am making the comparison?

Storm over Stalingrad sounds a little like Turning Point Stalingrad, which I thought had potential but was overly complicated. Has anyone played both games?

curious about your opinion on Eastern Front (Columbia), it did not make your top 10.

What about Drang Nach Osten/Unentschieden?

I thought that No retreat was a DOG......with flees

WW2 east front games - lets pick simple ones. I didn't know there WERE simple east front games.

Marco, how do you manage to learn, play and produce videos for so many games?

I wish you would give the name of the publisher for each game.

I can’t believe that Columbia Games East Front (or East Front II) didn’t make you top 10!

Conflict of Heroes Solo Expansion. Best solo system ever developed. That shoukd have been mentioned Marco.

I found it to be quite complex and cumbersome compared to many excellent out-of-the-box solo games, but I may give it another try. It has received high praise. The Conflict of Heroes series is excellent, although I have reservations about the 3rd edition play-system changes in Storms of Steel.

I've played half and I pretty much agree, I think you are right on. Never understood the love for the dated Russian Campaign and the honorable mention to place it at ten was appropriate.

dale C TRC is still a milestone in hex/counter wargaming. The huge map coupled with a manageable number of units and 2nd impulse mechanised exploit is breath taking because of its ... 6 pages of rules. I played War in the East for 3 months solo - a beast - and TRC covered 80% of theSE operations in a game that can be played in 3 hours per Barbarossa scenario. TRC is certainly better than most wargames in that top 10. Certainly the intro Battle for Moscow falls complete fat compared to TRC.
