Description

The Eastern Front in World War Two was the largest land campaign in history. This game recreates incidents in this vast campaign as small skirmishes between Soviet and German forces commanded by sergeants and other noncommissioned officers. YOU command one side. Can YOU defeat the enemy in this easy to learn and exciting historical war game? This introduction-level game simulates World War II infantry actions at the man-to man level. The game, without going into overwhelming detail, test the tactical skills of the players, each commanding small opposing forces. Combat at this level focuses on the immediate enemy, his locations and weapons, the terrain and sheer survival. Sergeants! is an infinitely expandable game that is fast, fun and surprisingly inexpensive.
