Strategy Game

The Strategic Game is one of two parts to the War and is played on the campaign map. The Strategy Game consists of player controlled Assault Teams being manoeuvred around the map forming War Battles with the ultimate goal of winning the war.

The war is won when one side reaches one of several victory conditions.

Starting A War
When the war starts each side starts with three capitals:

Germany: Copenhagen, Stockholm and Berlin

United States: Bordeaux, Marseille and Rome

Soviet Union: Istanbul, Kiev and Sevastopol

Each player can decide which capital to deploy their Assault Teams from. All other capitals and cities are neutral and up for grabs.

The Opening Game
The period between when the war begins and first contact with the enemy is called the opening game. This is of high strategic importance as it is in this time that each Faction's Officers and Generals manoeuvre into offensive and defensive positions, gaining as much territory as possible in the process. Additionally, the map consists of 23 capital cities which other than the starting capitals listed above, are all neutral at the start of each war. Taking control of these capitals enables the officers and generals to deploy their assault teams closer to the frontline.

The War
During the war, player-controlled armies fight over cities and capitals and try to accomplish one of the conditions that wins the war. To win the war, one faction must capture 15 capital cities or hold the most capital cities when one faction loses all of its capitals. To advance and have a chance at winning the war, Assault Teams advance city to city until they come into contact with hostile Assault Teams triggering a battle. The battle will either be a skirmish battle if the opposing forces meet between two cities or an assault battle if they meet at a city. Players will then fight for control of objectives within that city and the loser's assault teams will be pushed back to the previous city.
