Overview/review question

[Stalins Organ]

I'm looking at EoS as one of many WW2 strategy games but there doesn't seem to be much out there telling me how it works - can some kind soul provide some kind of summary how EoS compares with other high level WW2 strategy games?

It compares more to Empire Deluxe on steroids. There's a demo that would give you more information.

There is a review on the armchair general site that is pretty fair I guess.

Its a WEGO turn based strategy game, but I would not call it a WWII game. Its a very beer and pretzels style alternate earth world domination game. If you are familiar with empire deluxe, that is a good idea of the lineage of the game. Bolt on resource management and a tech tree with unit upgrades and you are there.

It also has an excellent rules editor which is where I have spent most of my time in the game. The game really is a wargame construction kit and it can handle varying scales of maps and battles with a little tinkering. The rules editor can create anything from a simple rock paper scissors RTS type thing up to a Civ style epic struggle for world domination.

Try the demo. Its a fun little game.

And for one, it isn't really a WW2 strategy game either. It can be one, there are rule and unit sets for this, but as a whole you will spend as much time playing through pre-WW1 technology as you will through modern and even futuristic stuff. To be honest, if you can't find much info, then you're not looking hard enough probably There are videos on our YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/battlefrontcom) for example, and of course there's a demo out there, too. www.battlefront.com/eos is a good place to start looking for this stuff.
