Theatre of War 2: Africa 1943

I'm so happy that this work flawlessly on Linux!! I've purchased all ToW games a few months ago while I was still using W11 and no matter the fix I tried (spent DAYS trying to get it working well) I couldn't get this game to keep more than 30~40 FPS stable (no matter if 1st or 2nd game, both ran very poorly). First install on Linux (Nobara that comes with gaming stuff pre-installed) got this thing working right out of the box 60fps stable, no problemo

Theatre of War 2: Africa 1943 is a demanding, realism-driven tactical strategy experience that places players squarely in the unforgiving conditions of the North African campaign during World War II. Developed by 1C and published on Steam by Fulqrum Publishing, the game builds on the foundation of the original Theatre of War by refining its mechanics and focusing them into a more cohesive, scenario-based depiction of mid-war desert combat. It is unapologetically methodical, favoring historical authenticity and careful command over spectacle or accessibility, and it expects players to think and act like battlefield commanders rather than traditional RTS managers. The setting is one of the game’s greatest strengths. The North African theatre brings with it wide open spaces, limited natural cover, and extreme visibility, all of which significantly influence how engagements unfold. Battles often hinge on who controls key ridgelines, choke points, and approaches across exposed terrain. The absence of forests and urban density means mistakes are punished quickly, as tanks and infantry caught in the open can be destroyed before they have time to react. This environmental pressure creates…

Has the most Realistic Tank Physics I've ever seen as well as lots of tactics and strategies to defend and attack

fun

Very poorly made game, like the rest of the Theatre of war series. AI, pathfinding, mechanics, and a lot of other stuff absolutely destroy any joy of playing the game.

Wasn't for me, but I bet I'd like it if it was.
