Order of Battle: World War II is a breath of fresh air for all strategy fans. It is a game that takes wargaming to a new level by upgrading every single game element and rebooting the genre for a new generation of players. Detailed terrain, rich animations and a slick interface, all within a traditional setting and with the elements that are familiar to experienced players - Order of Battle: World War II follows in the footsteps of all time classics, such as Panzer General.
With a selection of over 700 unique looking and behaving units, players can build and manage their army, fleet and air force throughout the campaigns set in the various theatres of operations during WW2. A unique system of specializations allows players to customize their forces with special units, bonuses and abilities that reflect the difference in strategies and mentality of the various factions.
A set of unique Commanders – split between Generals, Pilots and Captains – is gradually unlocked in the campaigns. These can be attached to specific units to provide unique bonuses to anything in their command range. While good use of unit types and tactics remains the player's priority, clever use of Commanders can tip the balance in an offensive operation or buy just enough time in defense to turn the tide to your favor.
In Order of Battle: World War II, a unique supply system also plays a key factor that directly affects the combat efficiency of the units. Landing on an enemy island without any support ships will prevent the invasion forces from building a solid beachhead, and breaking the supply lines of your opponent, isolating his units and making encirclement maneuvers are the strategies required to achieve an ultimate victory.

Order of Battle: World War II is a turn-based strategy game that provides a deep and engaging experience, offering a fresh take on tactical gameplay in a World War II setting. The game’s mechanics strike a good balance between accessibility and depth. Players command ground, naval, and air units across expansive hex-based maps, utilizing terrain, supply lines, and unit specialization to outmaneuver opponents. The logistics system, which emphasizes supply and reinforcements, adds an extra layer of strategy, earning gameplay a solid 8/10.
The narrative is serviceable, focusing on historically inspired campaigns that span the major theaters of World War II. While the scenarios are well-crafted, the storytelling is limited, serving primarily as a backdrop to the gameplay. For its contextual and straightforward approach, narrative scores a 7/10.
Graphically, the game offers a clean and functional aesthetic. The unit models and map designs are detailed enough to provide immersion but fall short of being visually striking. The graphics effectively convey the setting without standing out, earning a 7/10.
The sound and music are fitting, with appropriate battle sounds and a soundtrack that complements the World War II theme. However, the audio design lacks the variety or impact to make it particularly memorable, resulting in a 7/10.
Replayability is a major strength, with numerous campaigns, customizable difficulty settings, and a rich selection of scenarios to explore. The variety of factions and unit types ensures plenty of room for experimentation and strategic variety. Replayability scores a strong 9/10.
Innovation shines in the game’s logistics system, which adds a unique twist to the genre. The need to manage supply lines and reinforcements makes each decision feel impactful, setting Order of Battle apart from its peers. For its creative mechanics, innovation scores an 8/10.
In summary, Order of Battle: World War II is a robust and rewarding strategy game that offers plenty of depth and variety for fans of the genre. While its narrative and presentation may not break new ground, its gameplay and replayability make it a standout title for World War II enthusiasts.
My fav turn based strategy, classical hex system, IMHO best WWII turn based strategy out there.
Just an all around fun game to play.
good game
