Our take on Order of War™
The large-scale command structure trades away the close, individual-unit focus found in smaller tactical games. Its two campaigns broaden the historical scope, but players seeking one tightly focused storyline may find that breadth less concentrated.
What is Order of War™?
Order of War is a World War II strategy game set during the 1944 Allied and Soviet offensives on Germany.
It includes two campaign modes with separate storylines, missions, objectives, and environments: one follows American forces in the west, while the other places players in command of German forces opposing the Red Army in the east. Battles can involve forces of up to 1,000 soldiers, tank divisions, armored vehicles, heavy artillery, and aircraft. A dynamic camera supports command across broad battlefield areas while presenting cinematic views. Free downloadable content adds German Arado and Allied B-24 Marauder bomber units, infantry mortar units, heavy artillery strikes, and a survival mode built around enduring successive enemy waves.
