David Heath, Director of Operations at Matrix Games, said “Commander: Europe at War is one of those games that just makes time fly by with its addicting qualities and fantastic gameplay. One moment the game is loading up for the first time and the next time you look away from your screen, hours have evaporated when they seemed like only minutes!”
Commander: Europe at War thrusts the player into the command of either the Axis or the Allies during World War II.

Players will find themselves glued to their chairs from the beginning when all mayhem breaks loose across the continent with the invasion of Poland in 1939. Research new technologies, manage your manpower reserves, improve your industry, husband your oil supply and manufacture armies, fleets, and bombers to use all available strategic and tactical might to bring about victory. Commander: Europe at War includes realistic combat resolution that models supply morale, terrain, leadership, equipment, training, strategic weapons and fog of war. To capture the immense scope and distance of WWII, Commander: Europe at War includes 6 epic scenarios with different starting points, including the famous Barbarossa campaign, D-Day, the battle for France, and finally the Grand Campaign that will let the player refight the entirety of the Second World War the way they see fit!
