First Buy Advice for a New Player

[Hugmenot]

There are 4 Eastern Front games in print:

• Broken Axis offers 4 scenarios with less than 60 pieces but its focus is on scenarios with 70 to 120 pieces. The boards include far more terrain than blocks line of sigh than in the other 3 games listed below.
  
• Fire in the Steppe also offers 4 scenarios with less  than 60 pieces and it includes many scenarios with less than 120 pieces. Most boards include very little LOS blocking terrain. 
  
• Kursk: Burning Tigers only includes 2 scenarios with less than 60 pieces and its focus is on scenarios that include 120 to 200 pieces. The boards include very little LOS blocking terrain.
  
• Kursk: South Flank includes 9 scenarios with less than 60 pieces but also more scenarios with more than 200+ pieces than the three above mentioned games combined. The boards include very little LOS blocking terrain.
  

I recommend Kursk: South Flank as a first game because it includes more small scenarios than the other games and LOS should not cause you issues. Play the small scenarios first and then try scenarios of various sizes to see if you have a preference before you decide on a second game.

I think the other three games are reasonable choices for a first game, especially if your interest is very specific.

Road to Berlin is no longer in print and does not come with 4th edition rules.  It includes 13 scenario with less than 60 pieces but the scenarios tend to have more turns than in newer games (there has been a focus to cut scenario lengths in the past 5 years).  I am hesitant to recommend it as a first purchase. 

Rockin 'B Games carry some PG games and free shipping if you spend $48.47. And you will if you purchase one of the games I recommended.
