As the title of this game suggests, it comes with two full-fledged campaigns. Even though both are part of the same franchise, these games stand out on their own and strive to give players a distinguished experience.

Both games would allow players to control a number of different COs, also commonly known as commanding officers. Every game would pit players against a bunch of enemy forces, which they fight in order to protect their own nation.

Gameplay basics

This game features grid-based maps that players fight on. Different units controlled by the players scale this map one by one; only one unit can scale a limited number of grids per turn. Different types of units cover a slightly larger number of grids, but almost all of them are limited in how many grids they cover.

And after scaling that number, they can attack their enemies once per turn, every type of unit attacks in a different manner. Some have close-ranged attacks, while others have long-ranged ones. And all of them are effective against different kinds of enemy units.

This game also allows players to capture their enemies’ bases, and when they have done that, they can use those bases to manufacture new units, which would give them an advantage on the battlefield.
