What is Second Front?

This single-player, turn-based World War II wargame puts you in command of German, American, or Russian forces across tactical scenarios on a hex grid. You move infantry and vehicles, issue orders, and manage morale, fatigue, ammunition, and equipment. An editor lets you create maps, scenarios, and campaigns.

  • +you enjoy detailed, board-game-style World War II tactics
  • +you want to create your own maps and scenarios
  • +you prefer solo battles against a computer opponent

Not for you if...

  • −you want simple rules and little tactical bookkeeping
  • −you want multiplayer instead of playing against AI
  • −you prefer freeform skirmishes over set scenarios
