Second Front

Second Front is a World War II strategy game in which you command German, American or Russian forces through battles and missions. You plan attacks, issue orders and adapt to changing battlefield conditions, managing your soldiers’ morale, physical condition, equipment and ammunition as you try to outmaneuver the enemy.

Campaigns and scenarios

The game includes 48 scenarios set in World War II locations such as the Stalingrad Factory District, Borisov and Korostychiv. You can also create custom maps, scenarios and complete campaigns with the integrated editors, then share your creations through the Steam community.

Command your forces

Choose from over 40 infantry units, each with its own tactical function and strategic value. You can also build a mechanized force from over 216 types of tanks, vehicles, ordnance and weapons, including machine guns, flamethrowers, mortars, Panzerschrecks and Bazookas. Each nation has unique leaders who influence the battlefield.

Your decisions account for persistent losses, unit fatigue and other changing battlefield conditions. An adaptive AI opponent uses emergent behavior, while accessible controls and mechanics sit alongside deeper strategic systems.

Terrain and destruction

Battles take place across 30 terrain types, with 148 types of destructible and flammable buildings, bridges and other environmental pieces.
