Despite its lack of cutting edge graphic and cool music, Strategic Command is one of the best turn based war games I have ever played. The game looks a lot like SSI's Clash of Steel back in 1993. Just can't imagine that I would find this kind of God forsaken games in the 21'st century. The interface is quite simple, and it takes only about an hour to learn how to play the game, so the rest is just plain fun. The game comes with a campaign editor to let you create your own campaigns, and this adds to the replayability of the game.

The War in Russia took most of the time in this game, and it is quite a challenge even at the beginner level. Partisans and Scorched Earth are not only adding up to the challenge, but also making the game more realistic. And now, I know how Hitler's generals feel when they are facing with an endless resource of the Soviet Union. So it's quite satisfying when I beat them up in the end. As for the British Isles, it proves to be an impregnable fortress as in the real war. The combined strength of the Royal and the US Navy is just too strong for my puny Kriegsmarine. All in all, this game is a must have for all hardcore strategy gamers. Expect to spend hundreds of hours with it.
