About the game
Take the role of a general (United States, Russia or Germany) in this complex (but easy to learn) strategy game. In addition to attack strength and armor of your troops, their tactical setup, combat experience, damage and terrain have a decisive influence on the outcome of the battle. Since each unit brings its own strengths, you must cleverly assemble your army to win the victory over your opponents. Cooperative or competitive Solo mode Detailed miniatures with many different unit types High re-playability due to the variable start setup Complex combat system that depends on type of unit, combat damage, experience, strategic formation, terrain and armor (known from highly rated game “Trench Club”) —description from the publisher
