There are ten scenarios for each nationality and six campaigns - three German and three Russian. The game also offers Direct3D acceleration, an expansive scenario editor, and highly receptive multiplayer support for up to six players over LAN or the Internet.

The gameplay revolves around scripted scenarios with time limits. Infantry is represented by static emplacements and fortifications and artillery and air support are not under your control.
