Fantastic World War II grand strategy game! If you enjoy commanding entire nations and making the big strategic decisions without getting overwhelmed by unnecessary micromanagement, Strategic Command: World at War is an outstanding choice. I have logged over **4,000 hours** playing this game, and it remains one of my favorite WWII strategy titles. I also created the **TRP World (Total Realism Project)** mod for the game. It pushes the editor to its limits by using the largest world map possible, incorporating the entire European theater from Strategic Command: War in Europe while expanding it to include Africa, South America, Asia, Australia, and the Pacific. The result is a truly global World War II experience where every major theater matters. TRP World transforms the game into a much deeper strategic simulation where long-term planning, logistics, and global coordination become essential. A full campaign can take days to complete—or even weeks when playing **PBEM**, which is where I believe the mod truly shines. Whether you prefer the base game or a more in-depth historical experience with TRP World, Strategic Command: World at War is one of the finest turn-based WWII grand strategy games available.

I used to play Avalon Hill Third Reich in the 1970s. This is a more sophisticated resurrection of that game. I'm just learning but so far its very promising

Strategic Command: World at War: I tried this game twice in 2023 (Rostov and the Axis High Tide scenarios). I didn't like it after ten hours of playing, so I abandoned it. Fast forward 3+ years to last week, I was feeling disappointed/annoyed with the complexity of Hearts of Iron IV, so I decided to try this game again. The third time as it turns out, is the charm! I get it. This is a really good, fun game. I have been playing it nonstop over the past couple of days and find myself thinking about it when I am not. It is a punishing game in a good way because it makes you examine why you lose units or the flaws in your strategy. For example, I lost BR 1st Airborne to a German counterattack in June '44 and Omar Bradley's HQ was overrun in July outside of Caen. That taught me to bring it when I launch a naval invasion and to not go it alone with airborne troops unless you have a plan to get them support immediately. Frankly after those fiascos, I deserve to be hauled in front of Congress to explain myself. You also learn quickly that you are fighting a comprehensive, world war. I am constantly looking to upgrade my air defenses and send reinforcements forward to the various fronts. I feel like Alfred Thayer Mahan as I agonize over naval chokepoints and shipping lanes in Asia, the North Sea and the Middle East. Escorting convoys from NYC to England across the North Atlantic is terrifying. And I am eagerly awaiting the moment when I can bomb Germany from my northern Italian airbases over the Alps. This kind of strategic warfare is exciting, at least to me. There is more to this game than meets the eye. I really can't believe that I missed it the first two times. Please check it out again, if it didn't click for you the first time or second time. I do not think you will regret it.

Awesome WW2 simulation. You can tailor the game to your needs and skill level. New to the game? They have a novice level. Old hand at turn based strategy games? They have an expert level. Play as either the allies or the axis and customize each games rules to suit your style of gameplay. Hotseat and internet games are available as well if you would rather play another human rather than the computer. Give 5 stars and would recommend all war game and turn game enthusiasts to give this a try.
