From the series, I have played WWI and American Civil War in addition to this. While this is probably the weakest of Strategic Command games, World at War is still fun and very much recommended. Pros: + Easy to learn,

If you are winning on the soil of UK island Stalin is having a hard time holding his ♥♥♥♥ and rushes to war like he was heading to the toilet after washing down some pickles and plums with milk. Good AI. Great fun game

My favorite multiplayer game. The community is helpful and supportive. Easy to find an opponent. The game appears simple but the strategy and tactics are deep. You'll need to invest some time learning the game before
