Gameplay
The single-player mode features 3 campaigns (German, Allied or Soviet) with over 20 missions and modding support is planned. Each of the missions in the different campaigns are based on real life World War II battles/invasions. For example, in the German campaign the player commands the Wehrmacht in the Battle of France, Operation Barbarossa, the Battle of Stalingrad, the Battle of Kursk and the Battle of the Bulge. The Invasion of Poland is used as a tutorial for the game and also acts as a prelude to the German campaign. Post-release DLCs feature additional campaigns set in other theatres such as the North African campaign, the Winter and the Continuation War, the Battle of Dunkirk and the Pacific War.
The game’s strategy closely follows that of its predecessors, focusing on the unique characteristics and skills of limited units instead of resource gathering and base building. Reinforcements play a role in the game, but they are scripted and predictable.[6] The game also introduces skill trees and commander roles with famous World War II generals such as George Patton, Heinz Guderian, Bernard Montgomery, Omar Bradley and Georgy Zhukov.[7]
