Strategy & Tactics: World War II hopes to bring historically-accurate tactical grand strategy to the Steam library, and it’s just launched on Steam Greenlight.
Should it garner enough support, the game will allow players to take part in the greatest battles of WWII from a strategic perspective, commanding either Allied troops or Axis forces. There’s a Skirmish mode as well as almost 50 historical missions from the perspectives of both sides. Here’s the main features as listed on the Greenlight page.
Historical accuracy
We’ve done our research on the major battles of the time and tried to replicate the troops available to each side as accurately as possible.
Accessible combat system
Our combat system that’s easy enough to understand for new players, but flexible enough to allow the hardcore gamer to make strategic flourishes. Old school wargamers are going to enjoy this game - but we don’t think new strategy gamers will have trouble joining in.
Five historical campaigns
These campaigns include the bloodiest battles of the Western Front, Eastern Front, the Pacific Front and Africa, and even the battles in Manchukuo and Sakhalin.
Two alternate history campaigns
These two longer campaigns follow the (fictional) war between the successful allies. It features battles in Alaska, Mexico and Canada - and even a last stand by the Third Reich at the South Pole!
Research trees
As they progress through the campaigns, players can upgrade different aspects of their military, economy and research capabilities, with upgrades appropriate to the time.
