This game is a detailed simulation of squad level combat. It is done in the spirit of Advanced Squad Leader, which is a great start. In addition to many weapons, vehicles and infantry types, there is a design workshop for building your own scenarios. This is a perfect game to have the computer handle the details so that the player can handle the strategy. Very happy to find this game.

If you play ASL and always wanted a way to play it on the PC with an AI opponent, buy this game! If you don't know what ASL is (Advanced Squad Leader) be aware this is a beautiful throwback to the golden age of board wargaming. ASL players will only need to familiarize themselves with the interface and digital mechanics since they already know the hundreds of pages of rules. For others they should take the time to read the manual and begin to understand the actual game mechanics. With this said though, the digital game removes all the burden of calculations necessary in the board game. What's beautiful here is the design is mostly transparent so the player still feels the calculation modifiers in play and so does not just act blindly as they play. The game quality of life improvements would go a long way making this a better iteration of the game. More hot keys are needed allowing the player to navigate the board and units better. As some have also pointed out an option to use gameboard chits for the units would be great too even if they are not the exact ASL icons and numbers. The isometric view sometimes makes it difficult to see where the units are exactly (can't remove trees) so a top-down view ala ASL would be welcome addition. Yes, zooming fully out gives top-down, but it isn't zoomable without it returning to isometric. All this aside, I highly recommend the game to tactical wargamers. I wish more knew about this game.

Its a faithful conversion of ASL for the PC - really brings the hex and counter tabletop to life. The PrepFire and Movement Phases are combined (you can move+shoot), but its ASL at its heart. (Playtime is significantly higher due to much offline activity). Plenty of workshop scenarios. Dev gave the originally planned paid-for DLC for free to all users, which is worthy of a call-out too. Very good (for turn based wargame) and functional graphics with multiple camera angles. If you play ASL, you need this game.

This is quite literally ASL for the computer and as one of the three guys at MMP who produce the board game I can unequivocally say he because this is a ONE MAN JOB, nailed it. Clearly a passion project, but IMO done as well as it could be done. I've LOVE for updates adding OBA and what not to get done, but I get it. It deserves recognition and if you are a WWII gamer, boardgamer, this is a must for your collection.

many, many years playing Advanced Squad Leader by MMP. At first I chafed at the defensive fire mechanics for Second Front, but after a while, I realized that both were just games, and it was all about just working the system. I love the quick play vs. ASL and the computer keeps track of everything. I'm SOOOOO totally hooked. I hope the designers keep expanding this great game.
