How you win decides where the war goes next: a decisive victory opens a different road, a defeat a harder one.
1939 – 1945
Poland to Berlin
23 battles
1940 – 1945

1941 – 1945
The frontier to the Reichstag
12 battlesBriefed before. Remembered after.
A general of your side reads the briefing. Afterwards, a voiced “What really happened” sets your war beside the real one. Here is Kursk, July 1943, with sound.
An army that remembers
Your units travel with you from battle to battle and grow from Green recruits to Guards. They win medals with lasting bonuses, from the Iron Cross to the Victoria Cross, and earn traits from what they live through.
Every unit keeps a service record. The fallen go on the Roll of Honour. Win a campaign and your army marches in a victory parade.
Battle Mode
Raise a Battle Group for each side from any unit of the war and take it into matches against other players. Your army always comes back, keeps what it learned, and earns titles, feats and honours.
Morale and the fate of a unit
Units have morale: a surprise against the odds can shake a whole line. Trapped units starve and surrender, and closing a ring is a moment to remember. When a veteran’s life hangs on one blow, the battle slows to watch.
Supply, sieges and weather
Supply runs along the roads and railheads you hold. Cut the enemy’s lines and their units starve.
Surround a city and its defences crumble, turn by turn.
Snow, mud and storms change how every kind of unit moves and fights, with a three-turn forecast.
Become the commander
Rise over 20 levels. Attributes strengthen the whole army; Command Points buy 13 tactics, from an artillery barrage to an airlift.
And while the game is closed, your commander keeps working: studying the Field Manual or training a unit of your Battle Group.
Every attack shows its maths
Before you commit, the forecast shows attack and defence, every modifier and the losses each side can expect.
Then watch the enemy’s turn play out, with your general on the radio calling the big moments.
Daily and Weekly Operations
A new battle every day and every week, each with its own twist and a leaderboard that shows the difficulty every score was earned on.
Watch the leader’s battle film, and share a film of your own.
