Should I buy Strategic Command: World War I or Strategic Command WWII: World at War?

Post by Javidor »

I am open to either title but prefer the WWII one. Since the World War I game is newer, by a year, does it have a better AI engine and more quality of life improvements over WWII? If I buy the older WWII title, am I missing out on any game enhancements and improvements that the newer title might have?

There's even a bundle that gives you money off on buying all three.

But basically its the same engine for all three with some relatively cosmetic differences in terms of rules, units, and of course different scenarios. The WW1 game is obviously a WW1 game and does feature more in the way of entrenchment but really its more my thing as I've played WW2 to death.

The bundle is definitely worth it. That's what I bought and I really like all three.

Just remember that discounts can be combined, I used by big 7th anniversary discount in combination with with bundle and got it for quite a bit off, could have got even more off if I had done it at the same time as e.g., the Christmas sale.
