The Strategic Command WWII franchise expands and this time the entire globe will be your battlefield!

In Strategic Command WWII: World at War, you’ll have the chance to test the ultimate limits of your strategic skills. Building up your War Machine and leading it into battle won’t be enough. Underestimating the benefits of a well-balanced alliance or forgetting to keep the production running will be the perfect recipe for disaster.

Fight all over the globe in a detailed top-down hex-based map by taking command of the Axis or the Allies, and discover what leadership truly means.

New features, new theatres, new units, and new Decision Events will help you to find your own path to victory!

Building on the success of Strategic Command WWII: War in Europe, Strategic Command WWII: World at War is taking the game series even further forwards!

Excellent.


2018 or 2019?

Brilliant, WW2 global was what I was hoping for at this stage.

Is the map at the same scale as War in Europe?

+1

Ready for it.

Fantastic!! Exactly what I was hoping for! [&o]

Right on, I was hoping this would happen (to take a look at the Pacific, without going back to the old Pacific-only game).

Cant wait - Strategic Command-WWII Global Conflict Gold is an Amazing game, this will just send it into the stratosphere with the same scale, global options but with SCII features and a few more refinements!.

It's an awesome news !! It will be hard to wait for this one, it will be soooo nice
Any estimated time/period of release ?

Where i give my money ?

Looking forward to seeing the first beta

I'm looking things over but not seeing any hint of new game mechanics. So, we're just talking about a new scenario on the world scale with perhaps some new units, like kamikazes', but not any innovative game features for this release, correct?

A lot of these are just new to the previous Global Conflict game.

It's all good but we really need the WW1 game with the SC3 engine. But I'm prepared to wait few more years if necessary

I'm with you on the wish to see WW1 in the mix again, but less patient perhaps as I turn 69 in a couple of months LOL

Well, Hindenburg was 67 in 1914 when he smashed Russians at Tannenberg. Given that computer games are slightly less stressful than the real war, you're not too bad I think.

Looks like the scale is about half that of SCWIE, i.e., fewer hexes for the same amount of terrain. Is that correct?

Great news

Wonderful news

Do the ships represent fleets or single vessels? If the latter it seems weird that only one vessel can fit on that large of a sea area.
