Strategic Command WWII: World at War

Strategic Command WWII: World at War is a turn-based strategy game that lets you take command of either the Axis or the Allies across a map spanning the globe. Re-fight World War II, from Poland to China and Normandy to the Pacific, and decide whether Germany, Italy and Japan can prevail or the rest of the world can mobilize against them.

Campaigns and scenarios

The Grand Campaign begins in 1939, and the game also includes shorter scenarios. You can let the computer control some of your allies so you can focus on your preferred theaters. Strategic-level Decision Events offer choices that shape your path to victory.

Command and strategy

Play on a top-down, hex-based map with either 3-D unit graphics or NATO counters. Fog of War gives you only partial knowledge of your opponent’s intentions and deployments, so you must make decisions without seeing the whole picture. Diplomacy can bring new allies to your side, while intelligence can undermine the enemy.

Research and upgrade units through choices including Infantry Weapons, Rockets, Anti-Submarine Warfare and Amphibious Warfare. New mechanics include limited naval repairs and Kamikazes.

Scenarios and mods

The editor lets you create “what-if” scenarios, maps and campaigns from scratch. The game can support 10 Major powers, and players can share mods that change the map’s appearance, add campaigns or cover conflicts in other time periods.
