take over the world
It is a amazing game with superb graphics and extremely good game play and storylines.
To play the game you start out as either the allies or the soviets from World War 2, you start out with nothing but a few tanks and infantry and you turn that feeble army into a grand base with many defenses, tanks, ships, jets, and other amazing combat equipped items. Also in the game, as the name suggests not only do you command your own base, but you conquer another! Send your army, air forces, and navy to defeat the enemy base and win the game!
