This time, the authors enable us to take part in the Thirty Years’ War, a 17th century conflict between Protestant countries of the Holy Roman Empire, supported by other European nations (e.g. Sweden, Denmark, France, Scotland, or England) and the coalition led by Catholic Habsburg dynasty. 30 Years’ War allows us to join either Protestants or Catholics, and take part in the war for domination over The Old Continent, recreating the crucial moments of the conflict. When it comes to mechanics, we are left with a complex, old-school strategy game, employing a simultaneously-executed turn system, and placing a lot of emphasis on faithful recreation of 17th century Europe and its style of conducting warfare. During the game, our mind is preoccupied not only with warfare, but also with conscripting armies and our country’s economy and diplomacy.

Order of Battle: World War II is a classic turn-based strategy set during WWII, and a debut game by a studio from Luxemburg, called The Aristocrats. The game was initially supposed to be released as a standalone title called Order of Battle: Pacific, but around a year into the production it was decided that it should become a free-to-play game – on the same occasion, the title has been changed. The title combines old-school mechanics, based on games such as Panzer General, with modern 3D graphics. The gameplay is conducted in a turn-based system on typical hexagons. The game, along with its expansions, provides hundreds of units with unique specialties, realistic yet approachable support system and a plethora of legendary commanders providing different bonuses for their armies. In the base version of the game, there is one training camp, serving as a tutorial, and one scenario from each available DLC.

Naval forces play the key part here, with a special emphasis placed on powerful battleships and cruisers. The game features two main campaigns - one is set in the years 1922-26, and the second extends that period up until 1930; also, 8 additional scenarios, which can be played either solo or in the multiplayer. Despite the fact that the game presents a fictional conflict, the developer recreated authentic units from the period, including certain ships that in reality, never left the early stage of construction.

The game reuses Uncommon Valor engine, which powered the previous game of the studio, but the new installment is much more complicated, expanding available military operations beyond sea battles and including also land and air combat. Similarly to the said predecessor, the game focuses on realism, and pays much attention to small details. Unlike most strategy games, units are not a constant value – the seamen, airmen, or infantrymen all gather experience, and experience fatigue, while each commander has their strong points, as well as weaknesses. War in the Pacific contains 15 diversified campaigns, and remains easy-to-use despite being an unforgiving, complex game.

Unlike in other strategy games, the developers of Uncommon Valor focused mainly on the events that had a visible impact on warfare in the South Pacific region. There are eighteen different campaigns available. A part of the game’s scenarios will take the players less than sixty minutes to finish, but some will require many hours of attention. The realism and detailed recreation of the events featured in the game are among its biggest assets. It can be seen in the depiction of the military units, the objects located on the maps, and the typical frontline logistics. Depending on the chosen difficulty level, some of the player's activities can be carried out automatically.

This add-on expands the plot of the first game and tells the story of the second war for the planet Armageddon. Three chapters of Space Marines join the battle in its crucial moment. The expansion's story focuses on the Salamanders chapter. The game is divided into ten missions, during which we will use all assets and special abilities of our Space Marines unit while defending the planet's inhabitants from the ferocious Orcs. Vulkan's Wrath does not introduce any technical changes to the game. Just like in the base game, we can play alone or compete with other players in asynchronous multiplayer played through PBEM++.

An official expansion for Sid Meier’s Civilization: Beyond Earth, a 2014’s turn-based strategy game developed by Firaxis Games, the creators of the core game. The biggest novelty introduced by the add-on is lifting the limitation of our territory to the coastline and allowing expansion at seas and oceans. Thanks to this, we can now build cities or even entire states on the water and use the natural resources hidden in the underwater depths, although the latter is connected to a myriad of completely new dangers. Another notable change is the dynamic diplomacy model that also accounts for the actions taken by the player up to that point. The game also features a revamped artifact system and the possibility of combining doctrines and ideologies into various hybrids. The title comes with two entirely new biomes and four previously unavailable factions.

The second expansion of the turn-based war strategy Order of Battle: Pacific by The Aristocrats studio, reviving the spirit of the genre’s classics, with the Panzer General series in the forefront. The action takes place during WWII, starting in 1942, when American army began to score their first important victories against the Japanese forces. U.S. Marines gives the player a chance of leading the titular formation in an offensive against a group of tropical islands on Pacific, including Solomon Islands and Guadalcanal. The DLC provides 11 scenarios, a new formation and units, like the light tank M2A4, the amphibious vehicle DUKW, F2A Buffalo fighters, and concrete bunkers. Moreover, the developers introduced support fire for heavy infantry units. With the progress in the solo campaign, the strategy of Japanese army clearly changes – instead of frontal attacks, enemies start to concentrate on thoughtful defensive actions.
