About World at War. World at War is set in the Second World War and allows the player to live again the historic epic battle. Choosing between 5 different armies such as German, Japanese, Soviet, Chinese and the one of the Western Alliance, the player becomes a real commander who manages resources and units. Engaging battles as naval or air or land combat and building the troops are the key success factors of the game, if supported by a good strategy.
