STRATEGIC COMMAND War in Europe (SC3) is a great game, but it has now more complexity and it's no more a "simple game" like Strategic command 1 (SC1) was : in short terms, SC3 is more rich game than SC1, with heavy depth, but games are also more longer, you need more time to play it.
If you prefer WW2 Games more simpler, see :
1/ Strategic Command 1, in a "Avallon Hill Third Reich look" (I made a special mod for that)
This game may be bougth on GOG GAMES for less than 10 euro.

The look of the vanilla game is really "old", but I had made a special Third Reich mod to improve it (inspired by the Avallon Hill game "Third Reich", a classic)

Hubert thinks that this game is almost dead, but it's absolutly not my opinion : it's the
ideal WW2 game when you have only some hours to play the entire campaign
I play and I mod now essentially SC3, but each year I play again a campaign of SC1 with the same original fun like in years 2002 (date of the game). In addition, I have collected/saved all old scenarios for SC1 players had created for the game.
SC1 is really a great old game, and in my opinion, Hubert should consider one day to reactive it as "simple WW2 game", with a added map editor
You could also consider COMMANDER EUROPE AT WAR :

Hubert Cater, author of SC1 and SC3 is working about a new version of this old WW2 game
In termes of complexity, the order is :
1- SC3 = more complexity
2- Commander Europe at war = Medium complexity
3- SC1 = Low complexity (but great fun despite the age of this very old game
)
And you can play entire WW2 in one or two session (vs AI or human player).
AI of SC1 is good, but SC1 against human player is really very fun
I remember a old game in SC1, where I played as Allied Vs an experimented player, and this vicious opponent
had moved naval transports + escort to coasts of Norway before any declaration of war to Norway (secret preparation I had not detected). As General Gamelin, I was scandalized by this infamous nazi process
