Headquarters: World War II

Another Slitherine Home Run! I've been playing an assortment of the modern WW2 games and i always have major gripes with them all, but this one has nailed it so well. Theres a superb mix of needing Tanks, infantry and Artillery. They all have an essential role to play. The in game battles, man alive, I couldnt ask for more! If I was to have a gripe at the game, it would be about the levelling up and between missions stuff. There isnt really an army building stage which feels like a missed opportunity. it suffers from me choosing different units too. I found that its a case of "I'll save up for the best tank/infantry/arty and use that. I know a lot of WW2 games suffer the same fate. It mainly stems from having a pool of guys and no way to increase it. Maybe it needs a different approach to level it out because I'm not sure who would ever take half the stuff. Also, its missing a clear iron man mode. That aside, its awesome. So glad i bought it!

It's impossible to reconfigure the keys. It's 2026, I'll change my review when that's possible.

The WW2 game has increasingly become boring . However this one is pure FUN to play . I especially like the "line of sight" (if turned ON) . Even if you have less than fair understanding of WW2 games, it is very easy to play. I only wish they had added Numbering Units instead of looking all over the map (maybe I am missing it ?). I finished the British Campaign in two days , due to the ease of play, and am now looking forward to playing the rest of the campaigns (may even get the DLCs). The graphics is good and so is the between turn videos , which you can get rid of , by double clicking (you can double click even if you dont want to wait till your units reach the assigned location). Highly recommended for the casual enthusiast, the hardcore wargamer and everyone in between.

+ piękna grafika + fabuła + wciągająca - małe mapy - niewiele jednostek - kiepski edytor - sama gra zbyt krótka, jak też i skromna zawartość wszystkich DLC ale i tak polecam, czekam na więcej DLC z II w. ś., może będą inne fronty - wschodni, włoski, czy afrykański?

德棍制作商你看看你给盟军观瞄填的什么数值？德棍五人伞兵班在大平地上就站在我谢尔曼脸上都点亮不了，空中侦察稍微放远点连个puma都亮不出来，盟军的舰炮和CAS支援技能还不如我自带的105炮炸的狠，这么想德棍赢你不如做个Headquarters：The New Order得了

This game is flawed at its very core, as the enemy has the advantage in literally every regard. It doesn't matter how smart you are, the only real strategy is bringing a lot of scouts, and twice as much artillery. The enemy will always see you first, the enemy always has better positioning, and the enemy always has 10x more units than you. If that's not bad enough, they get up to 3 overwatch shots per unit, and a new shot triggers every time you walk into any square they can see. (Note that you cannot abuse overwatch spam, as the enemy is always in a bunker or dense forest. All they do is ambush, and they never actually push you. I have not seen the enemy advance on me once, unless it was into a spot where he somehow had a shot on me while I couldn't shoot back.) Often times they can shoot you twice before you're even in a position to hit them. They get reaction fire as well, so every time you shoot them, they shoot back, and since they ALWAYS have a defensive position, they will probably kill 3 of your guys per shot, and you'll be lucky if you get one. They enemy just always has the ability to shoot you so many more times than you do to them. You'll need to sacrifice a lot of men to do anything, as again, most of the time you'll be shot with overwatch twice before you can shoot them once. And then their reaction fire will wipe out the unit. Oh, and taking damage doesn't turn off their overwatch like it does in every other strategy game ever made, so you need to eat all 3 of the shots from every unit every time. You can either sacrifice a whole unit to do 1 damage to the enemy, or spam scouts and artillery and shell them from the back of the map. I can't for the life of me figure out how sight lines are calculated in this game. I lose sight of the enemy between turns despite them being literally right next to me. Like literally melee distance, and I lose sight of them somehow. The enemy literally always knows where you are, and somehow finds insane sight lines that don't make any sense. I had a hetzer take out my 76 sherman from half the map away, down a hill, and through 2 treelines. I can't see a guy I'm close enough to stab, tho. TLDR; Enemy gets to shoot you 3 times for every 1 shot you get against them and you're always outnumbered 10 to 1 by AI that blatantly cheats and somehow always has sight of you while you lose sight of people who are in melee distance

Leider eine große Enttäuschung. Ständige crasht das Spiel, was besonders im Multiplayer ärgerlich ist. Dazu viel zu wenige, winzige, enge Karten, welche keine Taktiken oder Bewegungen ermöglichen. Schade...
