Description
Headquarters: World War II is a fast paced turn-based strategy covering the Battle of Normandy in the three plot-driven campaigns and a number of skirmishes. Choose your side, form your force, assign heroes, level up your units, and use Headquarters skills to overcome the enemy.

Face a real tactical challenge
The game's combat system is based on an easy to learn - hard to master approach. Deceptively easy at a first glance, it offers lots of possibilities:
  • Units have front/side/back/top armor and their positioning matters a lot
  • Fences and other obstacles offer a directional cover that depends on the angle of attack
  • Different terrain types offer various bonuses and affect Line of Sight
  • Destroyed vehicles and other large objects affect the battlefield and provide cover
  • High Ground mechanics allow multiple levels of terrain elevation that affect Line of Sight and combat effectiveness
  • Destructible buildings with different stages of demolition create unique challenges

Enjoy the striking visuals
All units and scenery are created with the finest attention to detail using Unreal Engine 4 to achieve a very realistic visual style:
  • Realistic unit models with proper physics in place
  • Visceral elements of devastation - burning tank hulks, ruined houses, shell craters, smoke, death, and destruction. You will witness this and many other horrors of the war
  • Varied surroundings - your troops will come across war-torn battlefields as well as peaceful villages with cattle and fields of grain. Mind your tanks - this quaint beauty is quite fragile

Go through numerous battles
See all sides of the story by completing 3 campaigns with 9 operations in each.
The game features United States, United Kingdom, and German campaigns all set in the Normandy landings period of the war.

Manage your troops
Between the battles, you can upgrade or change your units, level them up, and assign heroes to them, granting unique abilities

Keep your crews safe
Every unit has a crew - and the crew is the heart of any unit. Losing different crew members results in different penalties for the unit. Losing a gunner means the unit has fewer attacks, losing a driver means the unit has reduced mobility, and so on.

Be victorious in any skirmish
Test your skills against an AI on each of the 6 skirmish maps. Different victory conditions require versatility in your planning and tactics.

Prove yourself as a masterful tactician
Play skirmish battles against real opponents or 2x2 team battles with friends. The game supports multiplayer battles with up to 4 players both with real-time connection or using Slitherine’s CombatHQ system.
Play your own game
Use the Editor tool to create your own skirmish/multiplayer maps and share them with the community.

Catchy in the beginning

I was looking forward to playing this game. I really enjoyed how it started, but I don't think I will finish it. Pros: - Very easy to learn - It's a lot of fun in the beginning - It provides you with a decent challenge. Especially in the higher difficulty settings, you need to be careful moving your units around and scouting ahead or you'll lose your units in the blink of an eye. - Secondary objectives add extra tension, typically forcing you to spread your army thin to succeed. Cons: - The AI is really passive. It won't react to you unless you're in its line of fire. If it doesn't see you, it will happily stay put under your artillery fire until it just dies. - Typical primary objectives invovle capturing this and that checkpoint. Sometimes, once you capture all of them, some scripted event happens, e.g. the enemy launches a counter-offensive. But said events don't feel polished. In one scenario, after taking the last checkpoint in a village, suddenly five or six enemy tanks spawn in your flank. During your turn, one moment there is an empty field in LoS of your army, now there is a tank about to wipe out your exposed units, neglecting any tactical planning on your part up to that point. I feel this is poorly executed and kills immersion. All in all, I enjoyed playing maybe six or seven hours, and I haven't even started the last two campaigns yet. But the cons kill the immersion and I don't feel like investing more time in finishing the game. Maybe I'll return to it in the future and play a little longer. Recommended if you are in for a rather casual strategy game and your expectations are not too high.
