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.

Does the game keep track of stats like Commander? Troop losses,total strength,etc etc..
How about a history of the conflicts? Entry dates, surrender dates, dow's etc etc...

Could be 106 people like me who are thinking of buying it and looking for info [:)] It does look like a "buy" so far from what I have seen. Gotta wait until payday though

There is report screen with losses matrix (how much losses given country dealt to and took from other countries). No current strength report, but on the panel in the settings menu, before starting the game you can see detailed statistics for every country. There's no history log.

Thank you...It does look like a buy for me

but I would love to see a monthly line graph showing total strength and total losses throughout the campaign and a history ...Maybe it's just me. I just love "chrome" like that..Of course the meat and potatoes part is the most important and it does seem this has got that except for some minor tweaking....

I could perhaps squeeze enough money to buy it, but I prefer to see if at least the tech problems get solved before buying it. It does look sweet, which is why I will buy it in time.

I look at it this way: I have bought a lot(15+) Matrix games...All were good except Maximum Football but that was a technical issue with compatibility ,not a play issue. So even if this game has some glitches I know they will be fixed.. As far as I remember the only game Matrix pooched was that Normandy game years ago... great track record for a company imho....

Hey, I have some of the games released by them too. I am still always very careful what I buy no matter who sells it.

Thats so true but when my hit rate, so to speak, is that high, it makes it a bit easier to take a gamble on a game that interests me... There are a lot of games out there that interest me but based on the company making/distributing them i would never buy .

Valid point, but as it is now I have more time than money, so I rather wait. [:)]

This is a big weakness of this game, and a strength of Commander.  I like seeing how many casualties I've suffered or inflicted, it makes the game more 'real'.  Please add this feature!

Casualties reports are in the game. Each country vs each country inflicted/suffered losses can be viewed at any time during the game.
