Werte Schlachtenlenker,
erlaubt Uns, Euch auf ein kleines Kleinod unter den taktischen Strategiespielen hinzuweisen. So manche werden es natürlich schon kennen, aber Unser Ziel ist der Massenmarkt. Als dann:
Frisch erschienen ist Second Front,
herausgegeben von der Firma Microprose.
Erhältlich sein wird es ab dem 31. Januar 2023 bei Steam.

Was bietet es?
Zunächst einmal Uns abschreckende Grafik. Als Wir das erste Gameplay sahen, interessierte Uns das Spiel dann doch.
As the commander of a military force in the era of WWII, you must use your tactical prowess and cunning to lead your troops through intense battles and challenging missions. With a vast array of weapons, vehicles, and equipment at your disposal, you must carefully plan your attacks and outmaneuver your enemies to secure victory on the battlefield.
Second Front is an accessible WWII turn-based tactical game with more than 40 infantry units and 200 tanks, vehicles and guns. It has all the depth of a paper wargame and the ease of a computer simulation. Campaign, scenarios and a complete editor make it an infinite tactical sandbox experience.
Second Front is the tactical WWII game that genre enthusiasts always wanted and never really got. Sporting a full-fledged 3D engine and an easy to use user interface, the game is easy to play but hard to master. Why is that? Because Second Front is a project born from the developers’ passion and experience with realistic and deep tabletop tactical board games. Playing a tactical game that is deeper than your average X-Com clone, with a competent AI and a powerful editor to create scenarios and campaigns has been the dream of tactical players for long.
The Campaigns
Second Front comes with multiple campaigns covering different fronts of World War II and sporting German, American and Russian units. Scenarios are fought in a 60 turns battle cycle, from morning to night. Fight and rest or push your troops to the limit and press the attack. These are not set-pieces scripted battles but continuous emergent skirmishes with persistent loss, fatigue, and experience.
Es gibt auch eine Roadmap und viele Pläne wie die Implementierung von Fallschirmjägern und taktischem Bombadieren aus der Luft. Der Entwickler Hexdraw (https://www.hexdraw.com) kommt aus Österreich.
Bilder? Videos? Okay, letzteres anbei.

Und ein wenig Historie: Der Hobbygeneral Alex hat vor einem halben Jahr den Entwickler zu Gast in einer Preview.

Wir sind gespannt, was Uns am 31.01.2023 erwarten wird.
