Create elaborate plans Create elaborate, multi-step and multi-unit plans intuitively by directly drawing on the map. Employ varied tactics such as defence in depth, counterattacks, planned withdrawals and more. Perform preparatory bombardments before large set-piece attacks, then split the division to capture multiple objectives.

Realistic army Each division is realistically modeled with headquarters, regiments, battalions and companies. Watch your infantry, tanks, engineers, anti-tank guns, artillery and scouts work together and perform tasks autonomously. Customize the entire chain of command and order of battle of your entire army. Combine divisions into corps, or split units down to companies. Requisition and upgrade units throughout the campaign. Hire and fire officers for your divisions. Listen to their advice – or don’t! Keep your officers alive so they gain veterancy (and quirks).

Massive battlefields Fight across thousands of kilometers modeled using real-world geographic data. Each road, town, forest and swamp is exactly where they are in real-life. Place your artillery on the high-ground by examining real-world elevation maps.

Real-time missions Each mission is simulated second-by-second, allowing you to pause, play in real-time or fast-forward at will. Mission lengths range from one week to a month.

Master logistics Starve the enemy by cutting their supply lines. Fuel your advance by capturing supply depots. Pull back when your units run low on supplies. Supply is realistically simulated, with terrain dictating supply flow.
