We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Strategy players who want to manage both national policy and military operations
- World War history enthusiasts interested in alternate European outcomes

Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a narrowly focused battlefield game may hit a wall when campaigns require political, economic, technological, and military management.
- Players looking for a short, self-contained scenario may find the campaigns' hundreds of tasks and broad 1910–1950 scope demanding.
- Players who want to command only one fixed nation cannot avoid the four-country leadership structure.
Our take on Aggression: Europe Under Fire
The likely bounce point arrives before the first major battle: players must engage with national administration across political, economic, technological, and military systems. Those seeking direct tactical action without campaign-level decisions may lose interest at that management layer.
