About Strategic Command WWII: War in Europe
Strategic Command WWII: War in Europe is a deeply immersive turn based strategy game covering the greatest conflict in modern history.
Take control over either the Axis or the Allies, while directing the efforts of each nation belonging to your alliance. From this unique perspective, you will be the supreme mastermind behind the entire conduct of operations, deciding the priorities, the strategies, and coordinating your global efforts to win the war!
Each nation in your coalition will have their own strengths and weaknesses, levels of technology, troops, equipment, and industrial capacity, and it will be up to you to make the best use of all of them!
Wage war across land, sea and air, employing a wide range of historical units combined with multiple avenues of technological upgrades. With research and development, the demands of combat and limited resources, balancing the day to day requirements of the war against your long term strategy will all be critical to ultimate success and victory.
Diplomacy and espionage will also be key tools to employ against your enemy as a war like this cannot be fought solely with military forces. Manage your relationships with neutral powers – encourage or pressure them to join your alliance, support your war effort or deny their resources to the enemy!
Through careful management of your resources, judicious research choices, wise strategic choices and brilliant deployment of your military plan, you can shape the outcome of this terrible conflict whilst continually competing against one of the most advanced AIs ever made. In Strategic Command the enemy will counter attack you every time, taking advantage of your weak points, setting traps for your forces, while waging a brutally efficient campaign on every front.
Fury Software's aim with the Strategic Command series has always been to recreate World War II in a deep yet very accessible manner. Experienced wargamers will find much to love in it!

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Strategic Command is a decent game, but it has limited replay value and many of its mechanics are intentionally simplified to make the game more approachable. Many World War II strategy games address this through vibrant modding communities. Unfortunately, Strategic Command does not. For years I assumed the surprisingly small modding community and limited amount of community content meant the editor must be difficult to use. After finally trying it, I discovered the opposite. The editor is remarkably approachable, the event system is flexible, and implementing new mechanics is much easier than I expected. I started by fixing a broken version of an existing mod for my own games. As the project grew, I naturally assumed I'd eventually share it with the community. That's when I discovered the community's attitude toward derivative work. The expectation from many long-time community members on the forums—the primary place where Strategic Command mods are shared—seems to be that derivative mods should not be released, even if the original author is fully credited. After spending a lot of time reading the forums, I also found very little evidence of collaborative development, shared …3 found this helpful
Top tier strategy game, async PBEM++ is great1 found this helpful
Played this for nearly 100 hours, if you like sitting there doing nothing for a long time while the opposition make their moves. Too slow for me now, time to uninstall.
World War 2 all over again. Fun and good!
Great Game
It's certainly returned a high ROI - but buy it on sale. It reminds of the ancient SPI board game War in Europe - so many units that the scaling feels off. Especially off are naval fleet actions - there ARE no fleets as such: each unit takes up its own hex at all times. And I haven't the zones of control at sea since the equally ancient SPI Sixth Fleet. You will also never see a naval unit sink strike from one strike, as happened repeatedly historically - HSM Hood, HMS Barham, HMS Royal Oak, HMS Barham. The AI LOVES to 'exploit' gaps - which a human player can exploit. Partisans are included - which could be great if the best counter to Tito wasn't a full Panzer corps. Recommendation: Buy it - but on sale, and be prepared to be annoyed if you know history.
