The WWII games listed here are technical, detailed, and specialized to
particular time periods or scenarios.
panzer
-
This is a fast-paced tactical Eastern Front game, similar to the board
games on the subject. Features include strict line-of-sight (thus you
can hide behind hills and trees), ranged fire, and a wide assortment of
hardware. It's not really very accurate, and it's stretching
Xconq to use it for a tactical game, but great fun anyway.
magnusvew
-
A large scenario based on a Panzerblitz(tm) board game scenario
designed by Robert Harmon.
cherbourg, cobra, normandy
-
These are all battalion-level games using the base game
ww2-bn
.
The cherbourg
scenario covers the capture of Cherbourg in the
Normany campaign, while cobra
is a reenactment of Operation Cobra,
and normandy
is the whole invasion! While cherbourg
is
reasonably sized, the others are monster games that will need lots of
memory and lots of time to play.
nw-europe
-
This game "zooms out" to the division level, being about the entire
NW Europe campaign. Although you can open by landing in Normandy,
you can try invading anywhere else if you like.
ww2-eur-42
-
This is a theater-level simulation of WWII in Europe, starting in
January 1942. The Germans are on the ascendant everywhere, the Soviets
hard-pressed, and the Americans only just getting involved. The game
has a lot of sides; either AIs have to play them or you'll need to round
up a bunch of players.
ww2-38, ww2-39, ww2-42
-
These are full global scenarios for advanced WWII. Can they really be
played as games? Probably not -- but so what, we just want to scroll
around and admire it all!
ww2s-eur-42, ww2s-42
-
WWII again, but using the unit types and terrain of the standard game,
and with only two sides, Axis and Allies. It's not realistic enough
for purists, but can certainly be exciting to play.
flattop
-
This game is a somewhat abstract version of tactical naval combat.
You have a force of carriers and battleships, plus a contingent
of smaller vessels, and a similar opposing force somewhere out
there. Use your PBYs to find them, before their subs and destroyers
get in to sink your capital ships.
coral-sea
-
This is the battle of the Coral Sea, both land and sea, at the operations
level. Airplanes are simply part of carriers' combat abilities.
midway
-
The Battle of Midway.
