About the game
What you do in a play session
Get your map ready and pick your side! II World War 1939 - 1945 invites you to command the major theaters of World War II, from the outbreak of hostilities until mid-1945. You can take command of the Axis Powers, the Western Allies, or the Soviet Union, attempting to shape the fate of the world through crucial strategic decisions. This game achieves an incredible balance: it brings the intensity of a six-year campaign into a session lasting approximately 90 to 120 minutes, without sacrificing the depth required by a wargame. If you enjoy accessible rules, quick setup, and combat that keeps the game moving, this is the game for you. Germany starts with a powerful offensive, but the clock is ticking against them. Meanwhile, the Allies must contain the fascist advance and await the industrial might of the USA, while the Soviet Union prepares for history's largest land battle in the East. Will you manage to change the course of history or merely watch events unfold? This is a pure strategy experience, where controlling armies, dominating the seas, and achieving air supremacy are the keys to victory. If you are looking for a game that captures the spirit of NAC's strategy classics but with a much faster and more dynamic pace, you've found it.
