Play Gary Grigsbys War in Russia Online

Gary Grigsby’s War in Russia is one of those games that makes you question your life choices after the third hour of staring at supply routes. It’s a monster—a brutally detailed MS-DOS wargame where you command the Soviet war effort, and every misstep feels like a personal failure. The map is enormous, the units are countless, and the German AI doesn’t care if you forgot to stockpile winter gear.

You’ll spend half your time just trying to keep your armies from starving or freezing to death, and the other half realizing your "brilliant" encirclement plan was actually a trap—for you. Weather matters. Morale matters. Even the dirt roads matter. It’s the kind of game where you lose because you didn’t pay attention to rail lines, and honestly? That’s what makes it weirdly addictive.

If you’ve played Grigsby’s other stuff, this one’s even meaner. But when you finally pull off a successful counterattack, it feels like you’ve outsmarted history itself. Just don’t expect mercy.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
