About Battle Academy 2: Eastern Front
Sequel to its successful predecessor, Battle Academy 2 moves the action east – to the bloodied plains of Mother Russia. When a gritty new look, great new features, and random mission generation meet battle-proven gameplay you can be sure of a strategy classic!
Experience the brutal campaign from both sides as you play across 4 campaigns – as partisan, Tiger, T-34 and dozens of other accurately modeled units. See how the harsh weather of the steppes changed the course of the war.
And after following the fortunes of the two sides you can then experience limitless battles with the brand new random skirmish feature. Customise your mission with the myriad settings before entering a unique and surprising battle every time.
Add in the best-in-class Slitherine PBEM++ multiplayer system, redesigned editor, custom scripting, and Cooperative multiplayer to create a new strategy masterpiece.

Best casual WW2 game. Too bad there are not more campaigns. I played Battle Academy 1 as well. Also good but primitive graphics. If you like basic move and shoot tactics you'll like this.1 found this helpful
Simple, fun. It's Battle Academy I on the Eastern Front with a couple of new mechanics.1 found this helpful
Battle Academy 2: Eastern Front is a turn-based tactical wargame developed and published by Slitherine Ltd. that focuses on delivering a clear, accessible, yet strategically rich interpretation of World War II combat on the Eastern Front. Rather than aiming for overwhelming simulation complexity, the game emphasizes readability, strong fundamentals, and tactical decision-making, making it approachable for newcomers while still offering enough depth to satisfy experienced strategy players. Its design philosophy prioritizes thoughtful planning over micromanagement, allowing players to focus on battlefield tactics rather than dense rule systems. The gameplay is built around a classic turn-based structure where players command infantry, tanks, artillery, and support units across a variety of carefully designed maps. Terrain plays a crucial role, with forests, hills, buildings, and roads directly influencing movement, visibility, and combat effectiveness. Positioning units correctly, maintaining lines of fire, and coordinating combined arms assaults are key to success. Infantry must be used intelligently to secure objectives and exploit cover, while armored units excel at breakthroughs…1 found this helpful
