Strategy of World War II

In the game, the first challenge that players face is the choice of camp. Compared with the first generation of the game, the number of selectable countries has significantly increased to 24, covering superpowers such as the Soviet Union, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, and Italy, medium-sized countries such as Spain, Yugoslavia, and Turkey, as well as small countries like the Netherlands, Belgium, and Switzerland. Each country has its own unique characteristics, and choosing a different country means that players will set the game difficulty by themselves. For example, small countries struggling to survive in the cracks of the land face more difficulties, while small countries with territorial seas can obtain strategic resources by building seaports and developing oceanic trade.

Learning to read the map is a crucial part of the game. The land transportation lines are clearly shown on the map, and the ocean areas are divided into the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, the Baltic Sea, the Arctic Ocean, and the Caspian Sea. Different from the first generation, the connection of oceanic cities is no longer simply determined by the lines between cities, but rather based on the sea areas. Some cities, such as Gibraltar, as a city with dual territorial seas, have important strategic significance. Players can dispatch troops from here to cities in different sea areas, which also enables players to have a deeper understanding of the strategic value of Gibraltar in reality.

Development is the core element of the game. Players can exchange money for soldiers, and exchange steel and money for various advanced military units such as tanks, artillery, and fighter jets. Steel is a key resource for the development of advanced military units, and the deployment of these units depends on oil. Therefore, if you want to dominate in the game, you must ensure an adequate supply of money, steel, and oil. Developing oceanic trade in cities with territorial seas is an important way to obtain resources, but players need to be wary of the threat from the navies of enemy countries, otherwise the trade fleets may be eliminated.

Rich variety of military units: It covers many types of military units such as infantry, tanks, artillery, fighter jets, and warships. Each military unit has distinct characteristics and they restrain each other. You need to reasonably combine different military units according to the battle situation to form an invincible iron army.

Resource management: Resources such as funds, steel, and oil are the lifeblood of developing military power. Reasonably plan the acquisition and allocation of resources, and ensure the resource supply and support the operation of the war machine by developing oceanic trade in cities with territorial seas, building cities and military facilities, etc.

Strategic decision-making: The game adopts a branching level system, and regardless of victory or defeat, it will lead to different subsequent levels. You need to comprehensively consider the deployment of the enemy forces, formulate marching routes, attack timing, and defensive strategies. Every decision you make may change the course of the battle.
