A Men of War: Assault Squad 2 – Cold War campaign is measured in days, which is a meaningless exercise, as each day equals one battle, and doesn’t factor into anything else (like unit refits, supply levels and so on).

In fact, there’s even less pretense that the campaign is anything but a bunch of linked skirmish battles. I was concerned that Cold War would be afflicted by this trend. Widely lauded, the Risk-style campaign of Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War – Dark Crusade convinced game developers that rather than putting sweat and effort into crafting a single-player campaign out of a series of bespoke story missions, one can get away with simply linking a bunch of skirmish battles via large campaign map. Oh, the “dynamic campaign.” Few things in a description of an RTS invoke as much dread as this phrase. When the AI doesn’t cheat and you get to actually hold the line. A campaign worse than Napoleon’s invasion of Russia

You have your dynamic campaign, your skirmish battles, and your online modes, and you should be thankful for that. You don’t need to know at what point in the Cold War timeline the game is set (keep this in mind), why the war is going hot or where you’ll be fighting. However, Cold War is beyond such petty mortal concerns. Most strategy games that decide to tackle the what-ifs of the Cold War Gone Hot usually have some explanation of what is happening and why. Did this experience help them create a compelling game with Men of War: Assault Squad 2 – Cold War? No, not at all. Digitalmindsoft are the people who worked on its Assault Squad spin-off, as well as the Call to Arms title, which is essentially “Men of War: Modern Day”.

No, it’s known from being a game where you regularly control forces of platoon size and up, but you can also take control of an individual infantryman to rifle through a fallen enemy’s pockets. Men of War is a legendary World War II RTS series, and not just because of its terrible voice acting.
