Lead the fight. Command every unit. Win the war.
Men of War: Assault Squad delivers a deeply tactical World War II experience that combines large-scale strategy with the intensity of direct, hands-on combat. Step into the heart of battle across multiple theaters – from the European countryside to the Pacific jungles – and command every aspect of your army down to the last bullet.
Control five unique factions – the USA, USSR, Germany, Commonwealth, and Japan – each with its own units, vehicles, and combat doctrines. Use the Direct Control feature to personally operate any soldier, tank, or artillery piece on the field, turning the tide of battle through precision and skill. Every shell counts, every position matters, and every mistake can cost you victory.

Assault Squad is primarily a real-time tactics game, but veers more toward strategy than its predecessors due to the absence of any "fixed force" (i.e. no reinforcements) scenarios. It is driven by an intricate simulation that tracks ammunition. Fuel, inventories for each and every unit, cover and line of sight, tank combat with penetration and deflection of shells, field of view, and much more beside. While Assault Squad is geared toward multiplayer, the new co-op Skirmish mode can be played offline without a partner. Like earlier games in the series, Assault Squad includes a "direct control" feature that allows the player to take control of any unit on the field. This allows fine control during firefights, such as priming grenades before throwing and aiming for specific parts on a tank. The multiplayer uses the GameSpy client and has a built in Elo rating system. Multiplayer matches can take place on dozens of maps and between the games five factions. New multiplayer maps are being released as DLC. A Real Time Strategy (RTS), Simulator, and Tactical game from Digitalmindsoft, released in 2011.
