Strategic Command WWII: War in Europe

The third official update of Strategic Command WWII: War in Europe is finally available for download.

After the “Garand” and “Gewehr” updates, we are very proud to release the “Panzerfaust Update”, and there are many reasons to be excited about it.

This Update is truly massive, touching hundreds of game elements, bringing the game to its highest level.

Before proceeding to download the update and to view the changelog, there are two important things to notice.

The first is that all the changes and updates previously released for World at War are now in place for War in Europe as Well. This has been a major effort and we’d like to thank the developer for the constant great support on the game.

The second important element to know is about PBEM. With the Panzerfaust Update current PBEM matches won’t be compatible with the latest version so, if you have important battles going on, our advice is to not update until you have completed the session. You’ll have 3 months to play your multiplayer session after which we would turn off PBEM support for older versions.

If you are playing a Steam version, the update will be moved to a beta branch and you’ll be able to keep playing you sessions in there.

GoG users will have full control over the download choice.

But let’s not waste any time further and jump straight into the Panzerfaust Update! Click here to download it.

6th of June 1944, the greatest seaborne operation in World War II begins. But there is another 6th of June to keep in mind, this one soon however.

Because on June the 6th 2017 Strategic Command World War II: War in Europe, one of the most intriguing wargames on the market, will be available on Steam!

Since its release, Strategic Command has been known to employ a very well designed Historical Decision Event System, where every military decision must be taken very carefully, always balancing the advantages and the disadvantages.

In combination with a smart AI capable of long-term strategies, prioritizing fronts and making good strategic choices, Strategic Command WWII: War in Europe happened to be a very nice addition for both experienced wargamers and newcomers.

With Strategic Command marching straight to Steam, developer studio Fury Software is very proud to announce that an important update has been released for beta testing. This new version adds some needed icons for the UI, Expanded tooltips, an Amended supply distribution system, and many more improvements, making this version of Strategic Command the most playable and enjoyable one ever!

Since we released Strategic Command in November last year, our next goal was to keep improving the game, making it better and better.

The first official update – the “Garand Update” – brought a huge amount of fixes and improvements but, even if important, the update didn’t include a very anticipated feature, Multiplayer.

Today, your patience has been rewarded, as the PBEM system has been integrated into Strategic Command and it is finally available!

But the news is not over, because alongside the PBEM, the version 1.02 updates the game in many aspects!

Here are some highlights:

• fixed the zoom in and zoom out hotkeys, (+) now zooms in, and (-) now zooms out.
• fixed an Amphibious Transport PROPERTIES screen display error that showed incorrect research level information.
• fixed a naval path spotting error for when naval units are moved from point A to point B, previously only point B had additional spotting when the move was completed.
• fixed a Paratroops crash error when dropping prepared Paratroops on some enemy hexes.
• fixed a right click Transport unit limit display error for when a limit starts at 0 but increases due to Amphibious Warfare research as it was previously not showing the increased limits.
• fixed a bug that allowed players to deploy Transports above the allowable limits whenever a transport was loaded and disembarked on the same turn.
• fixed a supply calculation error with linked HQs that did not calculate the proper supply for adjacent units
• fixed a predicted supply calculation error that did not properly calculate projected supply beyond friendly territory when calculating from friendly HQs.
• resolved a crash for the ‘commit_unit_last_unit_move’ error
• fixed a rare RESOURCE calculation error that had some resources remain at a higher strength than they should be at when cut off.

Developers from Fury Sofware are very proud to share with you a new bunch of screenshots! With the UI practically done, it’s time to see how the entire World War II will look like!

From the early operations in Poland in 1939, passing from El- Alamein. Stalingrad, the D-Day and coming to the final Allied victory in 1945, you will see how much Strategic Command: World War II in Europe has been improved!

Stay tuned for further updates and get more information from the official product page!

In 2002, the original Strategic Command game was a relatively simple construct. With a limited rule set and a much smaller 62×37 map of approximately 2300 hexes, the requirements for the AI were not necessarily trivial, but in general terms, they were straightforward.

Fast forward to today, and Strategic Command WWII: War in Europe has been expanded into a modifiable hexagonal game engine allowing map sizes of up to 512×512 or 262,144 hexes!

Inevitably, with an equivalent increase in game complexity and detail, the requirements and expectations of the computer opponent had to grow as well.

As a result, the primary challenges for the AI, with the player’s point of view in mind, was to not only ensure it continued to play well, but also to complete its turns within a reasonable amount of time.

Welcome to the first Beta-AAR of Strategic Command WWII: War in Europe. This is a mini AAR, and as such, the AAR will only cover the inital shots in Gleiwitz Poland in September of 1939, to the fall of France in mid 1940. Since the game is still in Beta, there might be some changes of the material covered between now and the final release, but the game already feels complete and the development team assures me that they don’t expect much to change other than minor items to ensure any final polish and balance to the main campaign.
