Find the Road to Victory in WW2 with this exciting new grand strategy
game!

Matrix Games and IQ Software are pleased to announce the release of World
War II: Road to Victory!  Now gamers can wage World War II in Europe from

airfields and convoys of Britain in a riveting turn-based grand strategy
format.

David Heath, Director of Operations at Matrix Games, said “This debut release
from new developer IQ Software delivers great gameplay and historical depth in a
classic hex-based and turn-based grand strategy format. World War II: Road to
Victory beautifully combines highly replayable game mechanics with ease of use
to make a great wargame for beginners and advanced players alike.”

World War II: Road to Victory, the first release from IQ Software,
puts the player at the helm of his choice of one or more Axis or Allied nations,
including minor nations, amidst a continent torn by full scale war.  Combat,
production, research and diplomacy are all fully modeled.

allies to your side.  Naval combat includes fleet engagements, elusive raiders
and U-Boats as well as a convoy system.  Concentrate precious industrial
resources on building, training and upgrading a wide variety of combat units

leaders enhance the performance of your armies and historical events give you
choices that can change the course of history.  World War II: Road to
Victory is fought across turns that vary in length by season and 25 km hexes
with divisions and corps, giving the player a broad strategic picture of the war
while still leaving enough room for operational decisions.
