Back to Front: Hunted Cow thaws out Russian Front for an August release

Don’t even front.

Back in December, prolific developers Hunted Cow gave us a peek at Russian Front, a WWII operational-scale war game that promised to be their biggest yet — and a shift from their Tank Battle tactical games which are more intimate in scope. The normally punctual Hunted Cow originally predicted a January release for this one, and they’ve clearly missed that mark by few months. And that’s a real shame. In a perfect world, every Eastern Front wargame comes out in the dead of winter and every customer gets a free furry hat in the post.

But getting in touch today, the studio told me that Russian Front is back on track and should be out in late August on PC and Android, and presumably iOS after that. It’ll be too warm for furry hats, but what can you do?

Hunted Cow have had one hell of a busy year. They’ve released whole series of light WWII tactical war games (we reviewed the first, Tank Battle East Front 1941 back in March), announced a new partnership with noted board game publishers Victory Point, and even published a slightly random tower defence game. We should expect some news about that VPG hook-up soon, I’m told.

Land wars in Asia etc.

T-34, you complete me.
