- WAW is a global conflict starting in 1938, 1939 or 1940 depending on the variant you choose
- Eastern Front
- Pacific War
Key elements include:
- 11 historic variants (e.g., No Stalin purge, Franco joins Axis, Czechs fight)
- 2 step production process with gearing. You need to build engines, steel, pilots, specialists and hulls before you build end units. It takes several months from the start of production until the end units can be built. Production is a bit more complex than the AT Gold random game.
- Specialized locations (e.g., tank factory, air factory, chemical factory) and the use of fuel to constrain mechanized units (e.g., ships, planes, tanks)
- New R&D process. You specifically research infantry, artillery, tank technology vs research with political points. It takes several rounds to achieve a breakthrough
- Hand drawn unit graphics (courtesy of Stuart Zastrow). Some examples are in the picture below showing a infantry corps in the German Fourth Army on the Polish border.
- More flexible minor and major country activations. Almost every minor can be influenced on way or another. The entry of France, Italy, the Soviet Union and the US can be influenced by both sides.
- More accurate map using Google Tile application
- Orders of battle based on 1939 armies and naval fleets. Special named generals (e.g., Zhukov, Romel, Manstein, Patton) active as super staff.
- Allies. Italy is an ally of Germany. The US and UK are allies. The Balkan minors are an ally of Germany in the Eastern Front scenario.
I hope everyone enjoys!
