1944 was to be a terrible year for the German armed forces. A year of continuous retreat as the Soviet war machine moved relentlessly west. The summer would see the destruction of Germanys Army Group Centre, a worse disaster than Stalingrad. 1944 was also a year of super tanks with the appearance of the Iosif Stalin 2 tank with its massive 122mm gun and the German King Tiger.
Missions vary from straightforward wipe out the enemy missions, to capture key objectives, to protecting vital supply convoys and repairing broken heavy tanks. There is a whole range of missions to reflect the tactical complexity on warfare on the Eastern Front.
The game system is based on, and a major upgrade of, the successful game engine developed for ‘Tank Battle: North Africa’. Tank Battle: East Front 1941, Tank Battle: East Front 1942 Tank Battle: East Front 1943 are already available from the App Store. More Tank Battle: East Front missions will follow with the release of Tank Battle: East Front 1945 in the coming weeks.

But please, please hire a real writer or at least a copy editor for the scenarios. They're quite embarrassing. "The bulkhead of the Red Army…"? "…small village on the Russian boarder…"? You can do better.
I played Avalon Hill games all the time when I was growing up in the 1970s. This game series is the closest experience to that since then. Keep up the good work, and update your European game to the same effect. Then we will have Panzer Leader and Panzer Blitz both back!
Much harder than '41,'42 &'43, but very good and fun. My complaint as with the previous ones is that an entire mission is used up in 'learning' the game. Another mission should always be included for a better total experience.
Thanks to the developers for this fourth installment in the series. Each edition is faithful to the scope of battle with historical accuracy. This version offers the biggest tanks and artillery, so for those who only want one version, this one offers the action, whereas the earlier versions seem more tactical, with smaller guns and weaker armor.
Great war game. Like many of the great board war games, including Avalon Hill's "Panzerblitz."
This finally includes all the refinements we have asked for. More realistic defense and Infantry unit Strengths. Better indirect Fire units. Can't wait for improvements to Western Front 44 and new 1945
And getting better with each new year added. Can't wait for a HUGE campaign version, and more updates for the individual years, too
