Three of these are vast, slow grand strategy maps where a single match outlasts a fortnight. One adds walking iron Titans to an unfinished Great War. Two trade the world map for a base you build, defend and launch raids from. Each card tells you the era, the weekly time cost and who will love it.
Start here01Take a Second World War nation onto a shared map with up to 100 players and run its war in real time. Research a deep tech tree, combine land, air and sea forces, and lean on allies through weeks of shifting fronts. The most balanced and approachable campaign on our shelf.
Diplomat's pick02Lead a nation through the First World War on a real-time map of Europe shared with a large crowd of rival players. Balance grain, coal, iron and oil, mobilise armies that take hours to march, and do most of your fighting with words. The game where diplomacy matters most.
Modern pick03A present-day world on the brink, played out in real time across a global map. Choose a doctrine, research modern aircraft, armour and naval forces, and coordinate with a coalition through matches that run for days and weeks. Big, ambitious and at its best with a committed group.
Wildest what-if04The Great War never ended, and by 1919 mechs and towering Titans stride across battle-torn Europe. Build a province economy, research strange machines, trade and betray rival players on maps for up to 26 commanders. A tighter, odder take on grand strategy with real personality.
Hands on the tanks05Build a fortified base of walls and turrets, then launch raids where you steer individual tanks, infantry and aircraft yourself instead of watching a battle resolve. Between attacks you rebuild, research and plan. The most hands-on war on our shelf, and the one with the most immediate thrills.
Quick evenings06A no-install military strategy game from Swiss studio Ditogames: build and defend a base, gather resources, command groups of modern military vehicles in real time and press home an advantage with your alliance. Straightforward, compact and easy to fit around a busy week.
