The Men of War PC game is based on the well-trodden battle grounds of World War II. There are three different campaigns included in Men of War, broken into 24 war missions. The first mission is almost like a tutorial, where you learn a few commands through the actions of two friends belonging to the Red Army.
The first campaign, the Russian campaign, allows you to take part in missions on the eastern front. This is the lengthiest of the three campaigns, but it is quite engaging as you are exposed to challenges that get few pages in the history books. Then there are German and American campaigns, focusing on the fighting in North Africa. What makes Men of War special and addictive is that it provides you with a wide variety of tasks to accomplish in each mission. For instance, you will learn various war tactics of the Red Army in the first campaign, where you must assemble the troops surviving an unexpected bombing raid, defend the important targets and stop the Germans from entering Moscow. The missions require strategic planning. There is a realistic damage system that has to be handled. Players can search bodies of fallen soldiers to find goodies for their inventories, or place anti-tank mines, and have other tricks at their disposal to make this game a little more interesting than the usual all out combat all the time school of strategy. Beside this, it will take you to the lesser known theatres where games generally don't pay much attention.
