A World War II turn-based strategy game created by 2BY3 Games. War in the Pacific: The Struggle Against Japan 1941-45 revolves around the war between United States and Japan over the Pacific Ocean area. The game reuses Uncommon Valor engine, which powered the previous game of the studio, but the new installment is much more complicated, expanding available military operations beyond sea battles and including also land and air combat. Similarly to the said predecessor, the game focuses on realism, and pays much attention to small details. Unlike most strategy games, units are not a constant value – the seamen, airmen, or infantrymen all gather experience, and experience fatigue, while each commander has their strong points, as well as weaknesses. War in the Pacific contains 15 diversified campaigns, and remains easy-to-use despite being an unforgiving, complex game.

Another strategy game developed by Strategic Simulations Inc. This time the developers are taking the player to a world that combines fantasy and steampunk. The player is tasked with assuming the role of one of the four masters summoned to destroy the evil Shadowlord and his followers. Fantasy General focuses primarily on combat, during which the player uses units of four categories – immortal, magic, monsters, and mechanical. Each category is additionally divided into ten classes, like for example light and heavy infantry, cavalry, or archers. Although the key to victory lies in building a varied army that will prove to be effective in various circumstances, setting proper research priorities and taking care of economical aspects is important as well. The title uses a modified engine of Panzer General. Contrary to the previous entries in the series, in this game the squads consist of no more than fifteen soldiers. Similarly to previous games, the title offers single player campaign and a multiplayer mode.

The second paid expansion for Order of Battle: World War II, a World War II themed turn-based strategy. The new add-on enables us to assume control of German naval forces in a number of new scenarios, both historic as well as hypothetical. The campaign begins with the invasion of Poland, during which we receive command over Schleswig-Holstein and a number of smaller units which were sent to the land forces in Northern Poland. The subsequent scenarios take us to other parts of Baltic Sea, North Sea, as well as Atlantic Ocean, pitting us against Royal Navy and its allies. The hypothetical scenarios offer the ability to rescue Bismarck from the British forces, or lead German navy reinforced by Plan Z. When it comes to units, we are left with fifty new tokens including a hydroplane tender. The combat system was updated with new naval-oriented mechanics – an evasion bonus for mobile vessels, reduced detection of submarine units, or two weapon systems for battleships.
