General gameplay

There are three difficulty levels: easy, medium, and hard. There is also fuel and ammunition to consider when planning strategy for offense or defense. Once all combatant units are eliminated or once everyone runs out of ammo and/or fuel, the battle is resolved. The game can end in a draw, however, if fuel or ammunition runs out and there are still a decent amount of combat units on both sides of the conflict. The actual battle scenes play like a dice game with the player having the least amount of luck in two different rounds losing his units, similar to Risk.

There are different scenarios from 1939 to 1945; with all the major battles covered from the Nazi invasion of Poland (resulting a decisive victory for Nazi Germany) to the Battle of Berlin (which was a decisive victory for the Soviet forces in real life and resulted in Adolf Hitler's fateful death).^[4] A hidden 16th scenario appears after the player successfully finishes all 15 of the scenarios that the game originally provides.

Construction mode

This mode allows the player to take one of the scenarios and customize them. Using the construction mode, a battle can take place using the seasons of winter or summer, involve either one or two players, and players can even replace the units and the drivers that are involved in the battle. For example, Poland can have Soviet or German tanks for an equal confrontation with the Nazi forces in the battle for Poland during the month of September 1939.
