Strategic Command Classic: WWII

Positive

A fine hex-based WWII Europe challenge. A great many options for play, yet there are a few key rules and ideas to always keep in mind. I keep coming back to it, year after year.

The Editor allows customization of campaigns.

lot of fun and learn about history

A proverbial sandbox game. It's easily the best WW2 game ever, along with its many variations from Fury Software. It offers infinite scenario setups and replay options. Simple, fairy easy to learn and enjoyable.

One of my all time favorite WWII games.

classic wargame. excellent

This is a good game, but the port over to Steam is unbelievably low effort. I'm very disappointed because I enjoyed this series a lot in the past, but now the devs seem to be trying to cash in on past successes without putting the slightest effort into updating their game. Here are a couple of glaring examples:

1/ You can't actually play this game on Steam. You will have to go into your files to run the .exe file as an administrator, or else the game won't start.

2/ Setting the screen resolution is a nightmare. If you set the resolution to something the game doesn't like or doesn't support not only will the game crash, but you won't be able to re-set the resolution without UNINSTALLING AND DOWNLOADING THE ENTIRE GAME AGAIN.

Given the asking price, this is unforgivable and warrants a thumbs-down from me. Devs, get you s**t together or else just sell this for five bucks.

Would definitely recommend. Good game. Simple graphics, but nice replayability

I am somewhat addicted to this game. I have bought it three times! Finally Steam to the rescue

Once you figure out some of the issues not a bad game..same concept as axis and allies and other older games... techniques of attacking and defending will determine who wins the wars.. good luck

Game works fine on my system 3 years old MSi laptop. Controls are old school but still cool. It is 3 games in one and I am looking at get the WWI and other war of the world title soon.

Hi well recommended. Its not too hard to learn but try playing on easier setttings 1st. You can change EVERYTHING in game with map editor (even start date). Play new 1936 mission 1st on easy difficuty, after change in map settings values (its easy to do)

Oh well.

Wasn't able to play for very long due to technical problems but in my short time here is what I observed. I was forced to request a refund.

Pros:
- Seems to have a reasonable amount depth with logistics, research, etc present
- graphic style while not great is fairly clean in terms of presenting map details

Cons:
- Upon launch, the UI presentation seems to be "off" in some way where the rest of the UI controls are not present on screen which makes most control / interaction with the game impossible. In order to exit the game I actually had to force close it.
- Hitting the esc key takes you back to the desktop
- Turn times are surprisingly slow on modern hardware

At the end of the day, the game seems to have some pretty major technical issues if that many are present in the first 10 minutes. It seems like there is a decent strategy game under the hood but if you can't get to it due to technical issues then what good does it do.

This is a great game.

I’m playing the Pacific Theater version and can see that it is an ideal middle option between the overly complicated War in the Pacific and the overly simplistic Order of Battle system.

The manual is clear and useful – and it even walks you through the beginning of the game to get you going easily. Anyone with over a 3rd grade reading level can easily understand and enjoy it – with just a bit of reference reading.

Thanks for bringing it to Steam. I am very much looking forward to you bringing the Pacific to your latest engine as the European version is excellent as well.

Good luck with your future projects.

This a horrible game. I got it thinking that it was somewhat along the lines of the old Avalon-Hill Games, but this is horrible. Assuming that everyone here knows how to play chess, imagine a game of chess where every piece on the board has 50 different knobs and dials and levers and buttons and sliders and graphs and... The maual is some 220 pages, yet no where does it explain how to operate the game. How do you change the size of the map, well, I went out to the net and asked and was told to use the + and - keys, but that there were only 3 sizes of map. This has been over complicated to the point of no longer being fun. I would not waste your money on this. If you are just looking for some way to waste your time, read a book. This game is horrible.

Hub and Bill the two creators of the board game and Devs of now computer games, i think this is one of the best WWII strat games there is. Graphics are not the best, but the depth of the game is amazing. If your a World War 2 fan boy then, this is your game, if you love strategy, with a twist of chess to it then this is your game, This is NOT your CoD crap,
