1941 Frozen Front

What 1941 Frozen Front is and who it suits

1941 Frozen Front is a turn-based WW2 strategy game set on the Eastern Front in the winter of 1941. You command either the German army pushing east or the Soviet forces defending Russia. The listing presents it as free to play.

It suits players who like planning moves on a map and working through a sequence of battles. Each side fields its own historical units, and missions range from attacking positions to holding ground against larger enemy forces.

Campaigns and missions on the Eastern Front

The game is built around campaigns made of individual missions. The listing describes several kinds of task: attacking enemy positions with tanks and infantry, striking enemy headquarters with bomber wings, placing artillery in rough terrain, and keeping an army supplied with goods and ammunition.

Some missions ask you to defend against superior numbers rather than advance. The setting is cold, and the listing mentions fighting through harsh winter conditions.

Units, terrain and the hex grid

Both sides get infantry, artillery, tanks and warplanes, with units drawn from the historical German and Soviet armies. Battles take place on a hex grid, which divides the map into cells so each move and attack has a clear position.

The listing says the hex grid is meant to give the player the clearest possible view of the battlefield.

Repairing, camouflaging and fortifying units mid-battle

During a battle you can repair damaged units, camouflage them, and fortify their positions. These actions are available inside the fight itself, not only between missions.

Hot-Hand multiplayer battles let you play against other people, and the game supports Google Play game services alongside them.

Graphics, sound and tablet play

The listing advertises detailed graphics and realistic battle sounds. It also states full tablet support, so the game is set up for larger screens as well as phones.
