Community Insight:
Game is good but on campaign as Germany (first one) when you conquer Poland, it says victory but the main menu and continue button don't work (screen freezes) and we can't continue.
Allies attake you and kill each other off.
This game is excellent, but when we are an ally, France almost never takes over open German space (or German space with those two soldiers).
Pretty good overall, BUT! When u play as Poland it make u lose! Why do ya make Poland so weak.
If you play conquest mode, the game ends when Poland is conquered (regardless of whether you're playing as ally or axis). It just says "failure" and kicks you to the home screen.
With : Keenman4454 especially with keenman because in world war 2 france got defeated and the war kept on going needs some improvement on conquer mode, and make a mode where you can control the axis side or the whole allies side. For example first you start with usa and you make moves with them, the its the computers turn (and they make moves with Germany, then its our turn moving the Russinans ,so on…) we would like some improvements as we mentioned and ill buy full version and give it 5 stars but is still our top game (board strategy type game) 3/5.
European War is a decent strategy game, but don't expect Axis and Allies type of game play. There are some elements of Axis and allies in this game, such as an economy and a rock-paper-scissors type of unit combat, but overall, the game fails to produce a good WWII simulation and plays more like Risk. On your turn you have the option of moving units, attacking neighboring territories or purchasing units and "upgrades". There are three unit types, infantry, artillery and tanks. Each has specific bonuses that are poorly explained, but it seems some units have an advantage over others. Artillery, for example, can attack without being counterattacked. One of the issues with unit movement is that two different units can not occupy the same territory. This makes it hard to move units around for defense, and in some cases may leave you with a unit trapped deep within your territory. There's no real sea or air campaign. To move units across the sea, you purchase a battleship option. The unit then behaves just like on land, but can maneuver through the ocean. There's no air campaign, either. Instead you can purchase airstrikes, tha is bomb a specific territory. Cash is earned by the number of territories you own and these territories can be upgraded to produce more cash. In the end, the game has elements similar to Risk and Axis and Allies, but in our opinion is no better than either of these games. If you're looking for casual strategy, this is a good game. If you're looking for a good WWII simulation, European War 2 falls short.
We were playing conquest as the U.S.S.R and one of our allies (Poland) was defeated and once that happened, the game just said "failure" and took us back to the title screen. Please fix this so that if one of your allies loses, you can still play.
This game could be so good. There is one problem. The game is impossible to continue. In conquest, any time that Poland is conquered, you lose. No matter what side your on. And on campaign, anytime that you conquer Poland, you win, but the screen freezes. Please fix this.
After the excellence of European War 1, we had high hopes for this game. Unfortunately, the main differences were negative. Instead of generic armies, the are now different infantry, armor, and artillery armies. This sounds good, but they can't exist in the same square. So the panzers can't move because the are blocked by the artillery, which can't move because it's blocked by infantry, etc. Second, armies can only attack once per turn, except tanks, which may get off additional attacks as long as everything goes perfectly, which is rare. With an average territory only being attackable from 2 other territories, this reduces the war to a grinding match. Gone is the "attack until you win" of Risk-type games. In a map with lots of territories, these concepts will probably work, but on the grand-strategic scale this game does, it needs some serious rethinking.
Looks like a fun game if you could figure out how to play. Instructions terrible.
