Simply unsurpassed by later versions more dedicated to tactic levels, PG let you mastered the great strategy in WWII commanding not only batallions but entire groups of armies through some of the toughest and most famous clashes, equipped with the most sophisticated and letal weaponry available.
Classic Strategy Battles, with a twist.

I fell in love with this game in the mid-90's when it first came out. I recently decided to purchase it again to see if it held up against the test of time. In my opinion, it did this very well.
If you are expecting brilliant graphics, amazing sounds lots of action then this is not the game for you. If you like strategy wargaming, then this is the game for you.
Play is fairly simple, at first. You are only controlling 10 units moving across a small battlefiend. It gives you a chance in the beginning rounds to understand how to best used all your troops: Infanty, Armor, Anti-Armor, Fighters, Bombers, Artillery, etc and all the different types of each. Another neat aspect of the game is that your troops become experienced after every fight they survive. They are rated in experience from 0 to 5 stars. Each star makes them just that much more lethal at what they do and they stay with you from scenario to scenario provided you don't get them killed.
As the game progresses you move deeper into World War II and consequently the battles become larger and more difficult to defeat. It is a great feeling when you conquer a major engagement that took you 2 or 3 times to get past, but there is a downside.
Once you are on the 4th or 5th battle (and so on), it is so large that it can take literally 2-3 hours to fight the battle to it's conclusion. My advice: When you know you've lost, save yourself the time and restart. Unless you are one of those people that has to fight it out to the bitter end, in that case have at it! :)
One other bright point is that the better (see: faster) you defeat your enemies, you get rewarded with not only extra resources but you can actually alter the course of the war!
Overall, it's a very interesting strategy WWII game that people with patience and time on their hands can really sink their teeth into.
