Ostfront puts field commanders in charge of a combined army, usually consisting of Infantry, Tanks, Artillery, Air Support, Light Vehicles and Field guns. Each player writes a list from their chosen faction, and both players agree on a points limit. In the campaign, the points for each side are determined by the map.

	''For example: Tom attacks Eugene with 170 points worth of forces on the campaign map, and so writes up a 170 point list. The square Tom is attacking has 150 points in it, and so Eugene writes a 150 point list. Tom will have a slight advantage of numbers in this battle.''

	This rewards the most determined commander, and combined with the campaign map, makes for situations where one player is heavily outnumbered, but must do the best he can, inflicting maximum casualties before withdrawing.
