Start the campaign playing as the Allies, for example, and players must first contend with the attempted Nazi invasion of Russia in a series of increasingly brutal scenarios.Īnd make no mistake - gameplay can be brutal. However, rather than having to deal with the entire world map at one time, the campaign gameplay is broken up into a surprisingly large number of smaller battles. The title pretty much sums everything up rather neatly. It's not hard to guess the goal of a game like World Conqueror 2. Instead, let's settle and call it a strategy board game - one that leans more toward the Risk end of the spectrum, though not quite as simple. Its maps and units certainly make it look like one, but it's not. I say all of that to say that, in spite of sometimes overwhelming temptation, I'll try to avoid calling World Conqueror 2 a wargame.

Some think of classic, yet simple, fare such as Risk, while others conjure the absurd complexities of Advanced Squad Leader. The word 'wargame' is loaded with connotation.
