- Allies (US, UK, French) fighting in Europe and Africa
- German fighting in Europe, Africa and Russia
- Soviet Union fighting in Russia and afterwards in Europe
The campaigns include historical battles like the battle of Kursk and optional bonus missions, which can be played to:
- Get experience for the profile of the player to increase the rank of the profile. A higher rank leads to a larger core army.
- Get experience for the units in the core army, so that the units become deadlier.
- Exchange weapons to newer types.

The game itself has a 2D graphic, but uses a 3D terrain with a full destructible environment. Buildings can be occupied by infantry to use them as cover. The game includes maps for multiplayer matches over LAN or the internet.
