Gamers can now take command of troops in some of WWII's most significant battles from its European theatre, from the invasion of Poland and France in 1939-40, through to the war on the Eastern front and the D-Day landings, to the fall of Germany in 1945. All of which are dramatically played out in real locations, constructed using topographical data and period aerial photography. The game's epic visual style is way ahead of any previous real-time strategy title; the outcome of the player's commands is experienced through stimulating and stunning graphical detail and effects. Wartime Command's key attraction is the historically rich authenticity in which the game portrays the 6-year war, with its battles based on historical facts. The game's British, American, German, French, Soviet and other troops and units are complete with authentic uniforms and weaponry. Vehicles, planes and hardware are also being accurately recreated using period military blueprints. As a Commander the game gives the player hands-on control of troops and units. Battle command tactics involve assault, reconnaissance, covert operations, rescues, city skirmishes, ambushes and sabotage. Although grand in scope, game play will deliver an intense personal wartime experience as players take responsibility for their men in the battlefield. As a commander of a band of soldiers, each with their own skills, abilities, identities and personalities, players will be able to zoom down to the battlefield and identify what individual soldiers are thinking and feeling. This level of detail creates a strong personal attachment for the player to his men, ensuring the game delivers a more emotionally charged and rewarding experience. Through good command, soldiers will develop fighting and other attributes and skills over campaigns.
