United StatesBattle of Berlin 1945 is a turn based strategy game which takes place during the last months of the Second World War in Europe. From Joni Nuutinen: by a wargamer for the wargamers since 2011
You take command of the ragtag German armed forces struggling to defend the capital of the Third Reich against the Soviet Red Army's massive offensive in April 1945. Your resources are running low and your troops are exhausted, but the fate of the war lies in your hands. Will you be able to hold out against the overwhelming enemy forces and maybe even shockingly turn the tide of the war?
“The ubiquitous initials LSR for Luftschutzraum, or air-raid shelter, were said to stand for ‘Lernt schnell Russisc’: ‘Learn Russian quickly’.”
-- Antony Beevor, Berlin: The Downfall 1945
FEATURES:
+ Historical accuracy: Campaign mirrors the historical setup.
+ Thanks to in-built variation and the game's smart AI technology, each game provides a unique war gaming experience.
+ Settings: Various options are available to alter the look of the gaming experience: Change difficulty level, hexagon size, Animation speed, choose icon set for units (NATO or REAL) and cities (Round, Shield, Square, block of hourses), decide what is drawn on the map, and much more.
+ Smarter-than average AI: Instead of just attacking on obvious direct line towards the main target, the AI opponent balances between larger strategic goals and smaller tasks like encircling nearby units.
In order to be a victorious general, you must learn to coordinate your attacks in two ways. First, as adjacent units give support to an attacking unit, keep your units in groups in order to gain local superiority. Secondly, it is rarely the best idea to use brute force when it is possible to encircle the enemy and cut off its supply lines instead.

"General Heinz Guderian wanted a pincer movement from the Oder south of Berlin and an attack down from Pomerania to cut off Georgy Zhukov's leading Soviet armies. To assemble enough troops, more of the Wehrmacht divisions trapped uselessly in Courland and elsewhere needed to be brought back by sea and the German offensive in Hungary postponed. This was refused. Again."
UI is awful. I bought this game hoping it was a real strategy game, but also somewhat intuitive. It isn't. It basically needs a thorough and complex instruction manual, which it doesn't have. I am a life time strategy game player and a retired military officer and I became immiediately frustrated with the game and gave up. If it is too hard to learn, then it is no fun. Perhaps that is part of why it has so few downloads.
Very interesting
I really like the campaign. It a nice and interesting challenge I have experience before. It would be better if the flak towers were added.
very good
Tough campaign, seems like one long front divided by a river. Joni is Exellent about frequently adding features updating really expanding his work.
Espically steep learning curve,compelled to give 5* for depth and value.
I love the new victory setting. How long can you hold out! Our can you defeat the Russians?
Shows number of hexagons the player gained/lost during the previous turn
+ Getting Extra MPs in quiet rear area unified more along the other campaigns (not so strict, one nearby enemy held hexagon won't block getting MPs)
+ Fix
