How to Decide
Norm Koger's The Operational Art of War vol. 1 – 1939‑1955 is a deep turn‑based WWII strategy game prized by hardcore strategy enthusiasts. The alternatives split into a few clear camps: The Operational Art of War II focuses on Cold War‑era air, land and naval battles; Battles in Normandy emphasizes a hex‑based Normandy map with hot‑seat and online multiplayer; People’s General is free and offers Cold War units with community‑mod support; Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War delivers real‑time sci‑fi RTS with destructible terrain.
When comparing these options, consider the historical period focus (WWII versus Cold War versus fictional sci‑fi), the pricing model (one‑time purchase versus free), the core gameplay mechanic (turn‑based versus real‑time), the depth and style of multiplayer support (LAN, hot‑seat, online matchmaking, or real‑time competitive), and the flexibility of the scenario/editor tools for creating custom battles.
