forces, and British forces, rather than a single unified “side.” As the conflict grows-and this is a world war, after all-keeping track of all of those units can be a little overwhelming. If you’re playing as the Allies, for example, you’ll need to keep an eye on separate production and unit control of Russian forces, U.S.
One rather odd design conceit of Commander: Europe at War is that you’re playing as an entire side in the conflict-Axis or Allies-but you’re managing each of the superpowers that comprises that side separately. There’s no complex multi-layer interface to uncover what’s happening-it’s all pretty clear from the first move. Slitherine has been careful to balance not only the game’s design but its interface so you have a clear and almost immediate understanding of where your troops are and what they’re doing at any given time.
Fortunately, Commander: Europe at War doesn’t suffer that problem. Jasper and his men diverted the German force towards the south with his illusion, while the British attacked the north.Too often strategy games get bogged down in “micromanagement”-forget to give a minor order to a production unit or a military unit, and you’re dead in the water. These were easily spotted and bombarded by the German Air Force. In 1942, during the Battle of El Alamein (Egypt), he created a ghost army consisting of 1,000 dummy tanks, fake pipelines, dummy men, dummy shell flashes by the million, dummy aircraft, and dummy guns by the tens of thousands. He hid the Canal with mirrors, lights, and reflectors, which disoriented the enemy pilots resulting in crashes. Jasper was ordered to hide the Suez Canal so British gunmen could spot Nazi planes in the dark. The German pilots thought that they had bombed the wrong harbor, so they dropped more at that fake harbor and saved Alexandria Harbor. He created dummy ships and houses from mud and cardboard and lit them up. Instead of hiding in Alexandria Harbor, he lit another nearby harbor. The harbor was huge, so hiding the many ships was not an option. Jasper with his Magic Gang has protected Alexandria Harbor from the German Air Force.

The panic-stricken camels and buffaloes charged madly at elephants, which scared elephants and they went on a confusing rampage, trampling their troops and destroying their army. Timur ordered his troops to tie dry grass on the back of buffaloes and camels, then ignite the grass. He planned to teach his horsemen to engage with elephants and drop caltrops on their path, but instead of this, he used the cleverest strategy. Timur asked his army to plant caltrops, which are four metal spikes with one of the spikes always pointed upwards. To defeat these war elephants he used an ingenious war tactic that forced the Indian elephants to charge their own army. During the battle of Delhi, Timur just walked in and captured it with just a unique war strategy.īefore invading Delhi, he had heard of the legendary Indian-war elephants who were heavily armored and tusks bound with swords. He had the reputation of a seasoned warrior with a great military. The Mongol-Turkish warrior Timur-e-Lang, who was also the ruler of Central Asia, invaded India.
