Overview ( More Info )

Battlefront features the power of battalion-level combat in some of this period's most bloody and intense conflicts: Saipan, Market Garden, Novorossisk, and Gazala. Players will have realistic control over their soldiers, with a tactical scale just large enough to make a telling difference in the strategic picture.

Review at NetWargamingItalia (in Italian)
(translated): Battlefront is fun, mainly because the scenario is well-adapted to the game engine. Sometimes it could be less realistic than other wargames, but it still represents an extremely elegant and original approach to a "hex game".

Battlefront review at Gamershall (auf Deutsch)
(translated) "SSG has for years consistently brought good games to the market. They succeed yet again."

Battlefront review at Armchair General Magazine
"...the real point to the game is good old-fashioned war game goodness, and this is where the game stands out. With Battlefront, SSG has given us a game that will appeal to a broad war gaming audience and stay on many hard-drives, for many years to come."
