Fire in the East is a monster board wargame published in 1984 by Game Designers' Workshop, designed by Paul R. Banner, Frank Chadwick, Marc Miller and John Astell. It simulates Operation Barbarossa, the German invasion of the Soviet Union that began in June 1941, covering the campaign through the following spring of 1942 for two players or two teams. Its large scale and detailed operational-level system placed it among the most extensive Eastern Front wargames of its era, reflecting GDW's reputation for deeply researched Second World War simulations.
