uches on this new real time simulation.
Theatre of War is a real time combat simulation game that brings you into some of the biggest battles of World War II from a variety of sides. In various battles you get to play as Russian, English, German, Polish or Allied forces at different positions and times during the war. Using large scale battles but ones that have not been more popularly recreated in other strategy or simulation games you get to control your pick of forces to win the day.
Starting with your choice of different squads and armor you need to choose carefully and then start the fight. At the beginning of battles you need to assign squads using quick commands to ensure you can order and command your units for easy assignments during combat. You also need to use military combat tactics to outflank and out think your enemy and win the objectives of each battle. Theatre of War uses realistic combat tactics and military theory while making decisions and the AI uses these tactics to the best advantage it can.
This means some very tough fighting no matter your experience or what level of difficulty you play on. Starting with some choices in troops and armor you need to quickly assign squads using key commands and position your forces. Theatre of War starts out paused for you to do just that and after setup you start the battle and try to accomplish your mission.
At the start of the mission before your setup your given the objectives. During gameplay you will have a chart on the menu that tells you how many men and equipment you have left to accomplish the goals. During gameplay you see only the enemies your men can see to add to the realism. You can use this same type of tactic against the enemy by using terrain to cover flanking positions or to ambush enemy positions or columns of troops and armor.
