It's modified to have a front-end in a web-browser where you launch the game. And they've already done a lot of the architectural work - the way the game loads - where it's primarily just shifting the file structures and everything, but the game loads very very quickly, so basically you've never played it on a given machine, you can go to the web-browser, click 'play' and almost instantly get into a game.

Though it is loading to your machine in the background, there's not going to be a lot of wait time or an install process and everything.

Blitzkrieg II Liberation comes with a tremendous focus on new strategic opportunities, global war and gritty realism of WWII battles. On the side of Soviet Armed Forces, US Army or German Wehrmacht you plan entire operations and lead your men into fierce action, choose reinforcements and use a wide range of new weapons in three full-blown campaigns that span the globe. A new graphics engine and significant advances over the original game place you in control of the most dramatic and bloody conflict of the past century.

Real Strategy:
Decide what missions to fight, accumulate and call in any type of reinforcements, capture train stations or airfields to receive more troops by rail or secure air supremacy during the entire operation. Accomplish tactical objectives and missions to support your war efforts at a strategic level and ensure your combat efficiency in the decisive battles. Promote and assign commanders to combat units to expand your tactical advantage with over 50 unique skills and real-life abilities. Order engineers to plant TNT charges and blast passing enemy units, use linked grenades for extra damage, suppress infantry with flak fire and master other new combat techniques introduced in Blitzkrieg II.
