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.
## About This Game
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.
## Infinite Scenarios
Thanks to the full-fledged editor you will be able to create any kind of
battle you have in mind. The intuitive user interface makes it easy to put
your imagination at work and the vast array of units means you have the entire
American, German and Russian OOB at your disposal.
## An ample arsenal of war
More than 200 different vehicles and different infantry units for each nation;
plus tens of small weapons types for each faction. Different leaders are also
included in every country. The arsenal of Second Front includes well known-
units like Panzer 4s, Shermans and Stugs to more exotic ones like the
Jagdtiger, the Kettenkrad and the T35 . Every unit is painstakingly recreated
with abilities like smoke dispensers and hatch-dependent weapons.
And remember you can, and must rotate turrets. Realistic tank fights!
## Deep tactical gameplay
Don’t be fooled by the nice looks of Second Front, this is no walk in the
park! The gameplay uses hexagons and different phases to capture in detail
every second of action on the battlefield, in a very similar way to well-known
tabletop tactical games.
22 different types of terrain are included together with 80 types of multi-
level buildings and more than 70 different unique decorations. Buildings are
composed of multiple parts, all of them are destructible and created with
unique models.
## Easy to use and exhaustive interface
‘Deep’ does not mean complicated. Second Front makes the most of the digital
medium providing an iconic interface rich with tooltips and easy to
understand. The game is full of decisions and the designers focused on making
all of them transparent and immediately evident.
## Competent AI
The AI in Second Front is not scripted; instead, it uses plans and emergent
behavior to find a way through your defenses or organize its own lines to
withstand your attacks. Finally a worthy opponent in a tactical WWII game!
## Future plans
Second Front is a passionate project in the making. While the development of
the core game is well underway and rich in features, constant updates are
already planned. Desert and jungle environment, paratroopers, close air
support are just a few of the new features that are scheduled for release
after the core game.
