Matrix Games

MULTIPLAYER NOW AVAILABLE!

Each nation in your coalition will have their own strengths and weaknesses, levels of technology, troops, equipment, and industrial capacity, and it will be up to you to make the best use of all of them!

Wage war across land, sea and air, employing a wide range of historical units combined with multiple avenues of technological upgrades.  With research and development, the demands of combat and limited resources, balancing the day to day requirements of the war against your long term strategy will all be critical to ultimate success and victory.

Diplomacy and espionage will also be key tools to employ against your enemy as a war like this cannot be fought solely with military forces.  Manage your relationships with neutral powers – encourage or pressure them to join your alliance, support your war effort or deny their resources to the enemy!

Through careful management of your resources, judicious research choices, wise strategic choices and brilliant deployment of your military plan, you can shape the outcome of this terrible conflict whilst continually competing against  one of the most advanced AIs ever made. In Strategic Command the enemy will counter attack you every time, taking advantage of your weak points, setting traps for your forces, while waging a brutally efficient campaign on every front.

Fury Software's aim with the Strategic Command series has always been to recreate World War II in a deep yet very accessible manner. Experienced wargamers will find much to love in it!

Wargamer.com Review
"Strategic Command WWII: War in Europe (SC WiE) is just such a game; accessible enough for the uninitiated (to the wargame genre) as well as sophisticated and deep enough, I would surmise, for most grognards."

Rock, Paper, Shotgun: The Flare Path And The Sea Lion Tamer
"Strategic Command WWII: War in Europe is conservative turn-segmented grand strategy with the emphasis on military matters rather than political, social or economic meddling

Wargamer.fr Review (French)
91% - "Strategic Command WWII: War in Europe completely meets the only true criterion that characterizes a good game: the syndrome of "one more turn" or "how to lie down at 3 am when we say that we will stop at midnight?"

" I want to mention that the computer opponent (the companion of the lonely players like me) can handle nations more effectively than in other strategy level games which have so many variables to deal with"
