Strategic Command 2: Blitzkrieg

Strategic Command 2: Blitzkrieg is a turn-based strategy set in World War II. The player controls all of either the Axis or Allied states. The most important fraction of the game is commanding the military units, but the player also controls the research of technologies and diplomatic relations.

Blitzkrieg was the first game in the series to feature weather conditions (such as rain or snow, which, for example, hampers the movement of air units), as well as diplomatic pressure. Using this feature, the player may eventually persuade a neutral country to either join the war on his side, or to prevent it from becoming his enemy.

Strategic Command 2: Blitzkrieg gathered average reviews from game critics. IGN noticed a contrast between the game's interesting gameplay and rather plain graphics and sound effects, commenting: "loads of substance, but not much style," while Strategy Informer noted "this game really is for the hardcore of turn-based strategists, as otherwise you could soon be finding yourself turned away by the lack of visual and audio passion in Strategic Command 2". Reviewing the game for Armchair General in April 2006, Bob Mackey praised the graphics and presentation of the game but criticised the AI, giving the game 81% overall. Armchair General also positively reviewed the Weapons & Warfare expansion pack, praising the improved AI.
