All,
I watched The East today, having a day to myself. The film was very well done, and really captured the sense of young soldiers unsure of their purpose. Not really much action, though you could find the seed for scenarios. It was tough to watch in several places. The Dutch were very definitely the bad guys of the film. The character of the Turk especially, conjured up images of Gestapo stormtroopers. It was a long film, close to two and a half hours. It reminded me in some ways of The Thin Red Line, being rather introspective. Definitely worth watching, for a window into an obscure conflict.
Is it gameable, I’m not sure. Other than as captives, you don’t see the rebels. I’m sure there were many missions throughout the conflict that might work on the tabletop. However I think you have to be willing to play the game, and not the history.
