  • Summary: Could you imagine what would have happened if WWII was won by the Axis? ...What would have happened if the US didn't ally with France and UK, or if Italy and Japan didn't join Germany? ...What if Germany didn't invade Poland in 1939 or Russia in 1941?... or if Japan developed the nuclear bomb before the Americans? ... Could you imagine having the power of ruling a nation and all its military, diplomatic and economic strengths? ...of going to important battlefronts like Pearl Harbour or Normandy, manage thousands of troops, meet historical Heroes and Generals, and change the course of History or even write one of your own? Could you imagine being Winston Churchill, or Stalin? ...to deal with Roosevelt or Hitler? ...to win the war? ...or even to go beyond and conquer the World? In War Leaders, gamers will assume the role of historical commanders, in an attempt to lead their nations to victory in World War II through economic, diplomatic and military means. Players must lead their nations both on and off the battlefield, negotiating with allies while crushing those who dare oppose them. [Enigma] Expand

  1. Lengthy load times, dated visuals, and obtuse interface and an unnecessarily decentralized recruitment system. [Dec 2009, p.73]
  2. For me as a Total War-fan, the first impression of War Leaders was very promising. Sadly this feeling didn't last very long. Even after installing all available patches, the game is so unstable, that you will find yourself on the desktop very often.
  3. Those who wait for the WWII version of Total War, are out of luck again.

    The game is the same as Civilization. The only difference is that it is about WWII. You could play according to historical accuracy or play a random free for all type strategy game through configuring the settings for the game. The RTS added in this game when it comes to battle makes the game even better. The problem with this game is that it can be unstable at times, but check your computer to make sure you have the required specifications for this game so it functions properly. Expand

  2. I bought the first German release.. there was no support... and still is none.. game crashes all the time... loading times are an horror.. if they had streamlined it a bit better.. then it could have been a fun game... for now the game .. even the english version who got an update more is still a no go.. would not recommend it even if it was laying in a bargain bin.. too bad.. because if they could have eliminated the crashes left all the other bugs in then it could have become something..
