Video Game Reviews of World at War
Customer Review: Computer Wargaming at its Best!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
As a avid wargamer, I love playing tabletop wargames from Squad-Leader to Axis & Allies. The one problem with table top wargaming is keeping all the details, ranges, units, etc. in tact. As a general you usually have aids and other officers helping to decipher all the details. While playing a table top wargame you have to keep track of everything yourself. This also slows the game down. The other thing that I always found lacking in table top gaming is Fog-of-war. You are always, for the most part, able to see what your opponent is doing. Computer gaming has allowed for taking the table top wargaming to the next level. Keeping extensive online databases of unit information, calculating max fire effects, movement cost, indirect fire, and more. Computer wargaming has also been able to introduce counter maps and full 3D views.
With the addition of Play-By-EMail (PBEM(, the ability to design maps and scenarios, and change the look of the units (yes, you can modifiy the BMP files and change the looks of each unit), everything a wargamer wanted is now complete.
World at War (EastFront II, WestFront, and Rising Sun) have encapsulated all these abilities and more.
If you like turn-based games, WWII, table-top wargaming, ability to play by email or hotseat, and a strong AI. This is for you.
Of course I will pull out Axis and Allies when I want a good beer and chips game to play with friends, but when it comes to serious wargaming I reach for West Front to play North Africa and Western Europe, EastFront II for Russia and the Eastern Europe, or Rising Sun for the Pacific theater.
There are many websites with tons of new scenarios, information, strategy articles, and opponents to play. ...This was the best game purchase I have made in a long time and it resides on my laptop and home computer.
