This entry in the long-running series offers varied missions set in World War II, with a strong focus on history to add intrigue to each battle; it’s also been designed with key features for the Switch, including support for touch controls in handheld mode in addition to controller support for desktop or TV gaming.

Across dozens of battles and multiple campaigns, players manage a diverse range of troops and military units in turn-based conflict, utilising advanced resources such as air defenses while always being mindful of battlefield environments and cities. You can level up your HQ, capture enemy strongholds and also strengthen your own cities, build landmarks and gain access to powerful Generals based upon historical figures. Battles take place on the ground, at sea and in the air, requiring careful strategy for victory.
