The game depicts the evolution of armies and technology during the most devastating conflict in human history. This takes you from June 1941 to the end of the war in May 1945. The DLC for Call to Arms shows the Eastern Front and its “Great Patriotic War” between the USSR and Germany. If you've been waiting a long time for a game that portrays the daring stories from the books and you're craving a platform that allows you to recreate the battles you imagined from documentaries, look no further: it is time to enter the gates of hell. Offers unrivaled immersion to deliver the most legitimate World War II RTS / RTT to date. It's a solid beer-and-pretzel board wargame for the computer that's worth a look.Call to Arms – Gates of Hell: Eastern Front is supposed to convey the realism that strategy gamers have always wanted: Historically accurate graphics and locations, no health bars, no simplifications, no abbreviations. On the other hand, if you enjoy Risk or even chess, give Call to Arms a try. If you prefer complex wargames with a lot of statistics and realistic features, this isn't a game for you. In the end, Call to Arms' limited gameplay is both a boon and a bane to wargamers, depending on what kind of game you want.

When one player captures all the territories on the map, the game ends.

After you finish your turn, the computer than makes moves and calculates combat losses and wins, updating the number of units in each territory for the next round. Gameplay in Call to Arms is perhaps best described as a 'numbers' wargame: orders are limited to reinforce, attack, and pull, plus choosing the number of units to carry out each of these orders. There are only 2 maps to choose from: Europe in 1942 and Scotland in 1750, but at least you can toggle various options to make the game more replayable, such as random assignment of countries and the number of initial force in each.

One of the first abstract wargames ever made, Call to Arms is unfortunately not among the best, although it is by no means a bad game.
