Second Front is now available for Windows
on Steam,
offering a World War II turn-based strategy game from Hexdraw and MicroProse.
This is not a sequel, so you do not have to worry about having missed out on
First Front. The
Second Front Release Trailer shows off gameplay based on classic tabletop
wargames, down to the hex map (but thankfully no towering stacks of chits for
units). The game comes with 48 scenarios based on real battles, along with an
editor to allow players to create and share their own maps. Here's more on the
game, which carries a 15% launch discount:
As the commander of a military
force in the era of WWII, you must use your tactical prowess and cunning to lead
your troops through intense battles and challenging missions. With a vast array
of weapons, vehicles, and equipment at your disposal, you must carefully plan
your attacks and outmaneuver your enemies to secure victory on the battlefield.
But Second Front isn't just about strategy and tactics – it's also about the
human element of war. You'll need to carefully manage your soldiers' morale and
physical condition, as well as their equipment and ammunition. And with the
ability to issue orders, you'll be able to react to changing situations and make
strategic decisions that could make all the difference on the
battlefield.
