Buy WEGO World War II: Overlord PC key

WEGO World War II: Overlord is a hex-based, operational-level wargame about the Allied invasion of Western Europe. You command ground forces across Normandy, from the landings at Omaha Beach through the campaign to capture key cities and break out toward Brittany. Its 14 historical scenarios include stand-alone battles and interconnected campaigns, including a 135-turn campaign covering the entire Normandy campaign.

Planning and combat

The game uses the WEGO system rather than the usual IGOUGO sequence, in which one side moves and resolves combat before the other takes its turn. You plan and manage operations while facing uncertainty: enemy positions and strengths are hidden, and a thinking opponent must plan under the same conditions. The hex grid on stylized maps of Normandy governs ground-unit placement, movement and combat. Units range from company to regiment or brigade size and appear as counters with stylized or NATO icons showing their types.

Air, naval and airborne forces

Allied and German air groups can carry out counter-air, interdiction, air resupply, bombardment and ground-support missions. Air reconnaissance can reveal enemy locations, unit types and strengths, while modeled weather can affect air operations, supply efficiency and airborne missions. Allied naval forces provide gunfire bombardment and logistical support, and enable amphibious landings across multiple beaches. Airborne and glider forces can operate behind enemy lines to seize key terrain, disrupt supply lines or block enemy reinforcements.

Ground and logistics assets

Ground Assets add capabilities that can affect battles, including electronic warfare, command activities and specialized logistical actions. Logistics Assets provide resources that can improve movement and combat effectiveness or give selected units and formations priority for replacements. Securing supply lines and managing logistical constraints are essential to maintaining momentum during the invasion.

Game modes

You can play either side in hotseat mode, against the AI or in PBEM multiplayer.
