Headquarters: World War II is a fast paced turn-based strategy covering the Battle of Normandy in the three plot-driven campaigns and a number of skirmishes. Choose your side, form your force, assign heroes, level up your units, and use Headquarters skills to overcome the enemy.
Face a real tactical challenge:
The game’s combat system is based on an easy to learn – hard to master approach. Deceptively easy at a first glance, it offers lots of possibilities:
• Units have front/side/back/top armor and their positioning matters a lot
• Fences and other obstacles offer a directional cover that depends on the angle of attack
• Different terrain types offer various bonuses and affect Line of Sight
• Destroyed vehicles and other large objects affect the battlefield and provide cover
• High Ground mechanics allow multiple levels of terrain elevation that affect Line of Sight and combat effectiveness
• Destructible buildings with different stages of demolition create unique challenges
Enjoy the striking visuals:
All units and scenery are created with the finest attention to detail using Unreal Engine 4 to achieve a very realistic visual style:
• Realistic unit models with proper physics in place
• Visceral elements of devastation – burning tank hulks, ruined houses, shell craters, smoke, death, and destruction. You will witness this and many other horrors of the war
• Varied surroundings – your troops will come across war-torn battlefields as well as peaceful villages with cattle and fields of grain. Mind your tanks – this quaint beauty is quite fragile
Go through numerous battles:
See all sides of the story by completing 3 campaigns with 9 operations in each.
The game features United States, United Kingdom, and German campaigns all set in the Normandy landings period of the war.
Manage your troops:
Between the battles, you can upgrade or change your units, level them up, and assign heroes to them, granting unique abilities
Keep your crews safe:
Every unit has a crew – and the crew is the heart of any unit. Losing different crew members results in different penalties for the unit. Losing a gunner means the unit has fewer attacks, losing a driver means the unit has reduced mobility, and so on.
Be victorious in any skirmish:
Test your skills against an AI on each of the 6 skirmish maps. Different victory conditions require versatility in your planning and tactics.
Prove yourself as a masterful tactician:
Play skirmish battles against real opponents or 2×2 team battles with friends. The game supports multiplayer battles with up to 4 players both with real-time connection or using Slitherine’s CombatHQ system.
Play your own game:
Use the Editor tool to create your own skirmish/multiplayer maps and share them with the community.

No suzerain again? Sad
I enjoyed the demo if this that I played in the last Next Fest. That said, am I the only one that finds the very British voiceovers for the German campaign to be kind of weird?
Stukas in Normandy?
It's always strange how Devs view history, & always get it wrong.
Is there a Russian campaign?
Michael Wittman is waiting in town to join you.
Sweet game
Can you show AWARDS at the end of the battle?
I agree the battles maps are small, that is what keeps me from buying it
Pretty bad those British accents pretending to speak German. Just wrong.
