Strategic Command 2

WW2: Road to Victory is the first grand strategy release from IQ Software/Wastelands Interactive, which covers World War II in Europe and the Mediterranean. Hex-based and Turn-based, it allows you to choose any combination of Axis, Allied, Neutral, Major or Minor countries to play and gives you full control over production, diplomacy, land, air and naval strategy. Start your campaign in 1939, 1940 or 1941 and see if you can better the results of your historical counterparts. A series of historical events and choices add flavor and strategic options for great replayability.

Strategic Command 2

Both the game description and sceen shots are very similar. If I already have SC2 and the expansions, why would I want this?

When I saw the bases on the units I thought the very same thing. Actually SC2 looks better. As far as play goes, will have to wait and read. [;)]

It's not just like SC2, but there are certainly many similarities between games in this WWII grand strategy sub-genre. If anything, this reminds me a bit more of the old Clash of Steel set at a smaller scale.

This is a game we spotted as the first release from a new independent wargame developer and felt we should help to give it the widest possible audience. I don't know if you'll enjoy it more or less than others in the genre, but it's a solid game and the ability to play as few or as many of the major/minor nations as you want in combination is a fun option, as are the historical events.

We kept the price about as low as we could for a full new game release to encourage folks who might already have AWD, CEAW or SC2 to give it a try. If you've got room in your gaming schedule, take a look at this new offering.

Erik,

You've mentioned in a couple of threads that this game is most similar to the classic Clash of Steel. Would you expand on that? Are coordinated assaults modeled? Would it be possible to post a screen shot or two with the NATO-style chits? A friend and I both still enjoy CoS, but we have been looking for a modern game with a similar approach for a while. Thanks!
