Men of War – Assault Squad 2 is yet another video game that uses World War II as its setting and aims to explore some of the most interesting engagements of the conflict and show how various units and squads were able to change the course of entire battles.


I diverted my own Panzergrenadiers to the side to capture some more resources and that’s when I made a fatal mistake in Men of War – Assault 2: I took my eyes off my most powerful unit.Īs my infantry once more made progress, I tried to switch back to the Tiger, only to find it with tracks shot off, which tends to happen really frequently, and unable to return fire as one enemy tank and two AT guns chipped at its armor.Ī classic case of failure in a game that always punishes lack of care but can also deliver some of the best World War II based installments in the strategy genre. The first line of defenders dropped quickly and I pushed my tank further away, drawing fire from a few Shermans, which quickly died a fiery death, and taking out another infantry unit in the process. I decided to bring in a Tiger, which is powerful but expensive, and to support it with a StugIII and some Panzergrenadiers, a combined arms team that should be able to punch through. I was able to sneak two squads for classic infantry up the sides of the map and steadily take out United States squads, but I had big problems in the center, where some stubborn defenders with machine guns entrenched themselves behind some solid fortifications.
