A WWII strategy game. Decide the fate of a nation and the destiny of the world.
The year is 1940, France is about to succumb to the unstoppable German armies blitzing through Western Europe. Italy's armies are poised to attack in North Africa, Greece and Southern France. What remains of the British army has recently evacuated Dunkirk. This island nation is about to find itself standing alone and bracing for an invasion that could come at any moment. The United States, separated from world conflicts by two great oceans, remains neutral for the moment. The Soviet Union has concluded a secret agreement with Germany, assuring that it will remain neutral should Germany go to war in Europe. These are trying times, but all of this is merely a prelude to the greatest conflict in human history.
