The 3D engine allows for advanced game play techniques incorporating true 3D Line Of Sight systems, seasonal lighting and environmental effects, landscape scarring and multiple stage deformation for all units and buildings and intelligent and adaptive AI that reacts to the player’s strategy while they play.

With over 23 historically accurate units per side and 25 single player missions, the war effort does not end there, as all 25 missions, and 10 unique missions are available for multiplayer via LAN and the Internet using GameSpy. Authentic World War II archive footage and a professionally orchestrated audio score along with true-to-life sound effects, players are immersed in the heart of the action.
