The strategy revolution

War Leaders: Clash of Nations can be considered one of the most complete Second World War based games with the player able to participate throughout the conflict, with any of the factions that took part in the war, from beginning to end.
Taking on the role of one of the most important historical figures from the Second World War, leading the chosen nation to victory with the help of her allies or even achieving world domination and changing the course of history, are some of the strengths of this great title.

War Leaders: Clash of Nations has an advanced Manager system of turns, permitting a range of actions from recruitment of armies and development of technologies to the formation of trade and diplomatic agreements. The game also features spectacular real time battles (RTS) with hundreds of highly detailed, real units in incredible scenery that covers the geography of the whole world. All this is possible thanks to the implementation of the most innovative game mechanism through which the user can experience the drama of battle in its purest form.
A unique way of having two games in one, combined and interacting to provide a never before seen experience in strategy gaming.

The aspects that best define the experience of playing War Leaders: Clash of Nations are also unique. Some of the most outstanding are:

2. Perfect interaction between Manager and RTS.
3. Global war with all types of units, the seven main factions, along with thirteen belligerent nations and all the neutral nations.

This is possible thanks to the complete freedom of action within the game and is visualized and narrated via a system of news clips from the era which reports the most relevant events, adapting history to an alternative reality generated by the player.
