I'm looking for a particular game. I want a war-game about either the Eastern Front in WWII or about a hypothetical war between the Soviet Union and the United States in the 50s-60s. It will preferably be a tabletop miniature war-game with or without hexes. Could you recommend me a game? Thanks!

Flames of War? Bolt Action? Cold War Commander?
What scale (both models and battles) and complexity do you want?

Hmm. I'd like large scale battles (size of Stalingrad and Leningrad), with regular, Warhammer sized models. I'd like mid to high complexity, not something that's so esoteric that no one will ever play it, but hard enough that I can get a nice simulation going.

On that thought, could you recommend a non-model war-game, preferably hex-based with the same complexity?

I know pretty much nothing about tabletop wargaming outside of 40k, but from what I understand based solely on observations and my FLGS, Flames of War seems to be the current biggest WW2-and-up tabletop historical. Your chances of finding what you want (and people to play it with you) are probably best there.

Bolt Action is the only popular 28mm scale WW2 game I know of, but if you're willing to try 14mm, Flames of War is your best bet for larger battles that won't take forever to find an opponent.

As for non-miniature wargames, you want this thread:

And you'll probably find the miniature game of your dreams by posting in the historical miniature gaming thread.
