	TOE FOR
		Warfare on the Eastern Front was always war of movement and so were the 1918 and 1914 battles on the western front.
		Most battles in WWI therefore have a nightmarish `space raiders' aspect, where the attacking force is rapidly being depleted while the defending forces gets stronger much more rapidly - the more enemies you kill, the more you get in front of you.
		Now, on the western front in 1918 it was risky to use massive barrages because of counter-battery fire and TOAW does not simulate this, so that it might be difficult to simulate 1918-1917 battles there.

		IMHO the Eastern Front was probably the most important of all the fronts during the war but having said that, the Soviets alone couldn't have defeated the Axis Forces.
		This said, we have to remember that the german war front was aready overstrained in 1942 at the battle of Stalingrad, where the real cause of the disaster was an overthinned frontline which could no more resist to a direct front assault.
		Once the Russian renforce division were trown in the battle the german front collapsed: this was before the Germany bombing campaing was even started; Germany war effort had reached it's limits before the Sovietic foreseen dissolution had taken place.

		The First World War: The Eastern Front 1914-1918 consists of a brief introduction and seven chapters.
		Jukes makes the interesting point that Brusilov, "deliberately violated the principle of concentration of force to increase his chances of surprise." The Turkish front is covered in some detail in 1915-1916, particularly joint Russian army-navy operations along the Black Sea coast, but then drops from sight.
		Another key factor often overlooked is the decline of Russia's rail system - run-down by the war, bad weather and mismanagement - which led to the food shortages in the major cities that instigated the collapse of the Romanov monarchy.

		Therefore, while the reader may find his contention that the Wehrmacht viewed the war on the Eastern Front as one of survival rather than expansion to be a compelling argument at the least, it remains to be seen how his background may have influenced his findings.
		Bartov argues several points, but among the most interesting is the contention that the Wehrmacht fought on the Eastern Front — against an increasingly modernized Russian military — in the belief that they were actually fighting a war of survival.
		I would simply add a codicil to the recommendation, that the reader consider carefully the information before them, and if time permits, read Bartov’s work and subsequently another work or two on the Eastern Front, so as to keep a balanced perspective between Bartov and the authors whose theories he attempts to disprove.
