Koch fits WWII strategy on PSP, DS News

PSP DS News by Robert Purchese

3 February, 2009

Koch will squash World War II strategy onto PSP and DS this calendar quarter with Military History Commander - Europe at War.

This will coincide with a enhanced PC version offering quick-play multiplayer scenarios, a better frame-rate, smarter AI and improved stability on Windows XP and Vista.

Europe at War is a turn-based affair played out on a hexagonal campaign grid with little cartoon characters. You can control either Allied or Axis forces, and tweak recruitment, diplomacy and reconnaissance strategies until victorious.

There's plenty of technology to research, we're told, and historical scenarios such as D-Day and Operation Barbarossa to re-enact.

This should also be the first of a Military History Commander series for Koch.

On handheld, it looks a little like Advance Wars, too, if the first PSP and DS screenshots are anything to go by.

As much as the N-gage got wrong, Pathway to Glory is probably the best WWII portable strategy game out there. It may also me the only one I can think of, but let's not argue. This'll have to be good to get my money.

Oh by golly this looks nothing like Advance Wars. You have to go back to the C64 and Amiga days to see where this is coming from. This is Boardgame Style stuff.

Interesting.

No it doesn't. A distant cousin of Advance Wars maybe, who was repeatedly beaten with The Ugly Stick throughout his traumatic youth. AW was obviosuly born to an affluent and civilised part of the family, where-as MHC's dad was a poverty stricken alcoholic monster.

Or something like that anyway.

Anyone remember Historyline 1914:1918 or something like that? Awesome hex-tile turn based strategy game. I'd be all over either an XBLA, DS or iPhone version of that.

Yeah, Historyline was a WW1 themed version of Battle Isle, classic Amiga hex based joy...

Would have liked a Panzer General style game on PSP but I suppose the graphics wouldn`t be too clear. Big, simple icons are the wat to go with portable strategy games.

Panzer Tactics for the DS was pretty good... worth checking out.
