About the game:
Sudden Strike 2 was also developed by Russian developer Fireglow and published by CDV and was released in 2002. The game has since undergone minor changes in its game engine and now features a higher resolution setting and other graphical changes. The campaign still involves the Soviets and Allies, against the Germans and a new country, Japan. While striving for historical accuracy, the missions are mostly fiction. The American missions are in the Rhine regions and tend to involve 'borrowing' war equipment from the German army rather than using their own tanks and other weapons. The British missions revolves around the actual events at Wolfheze and Arnhem and the attempted capture of the bridge. The Japanese missions are centered along the lines of tropical jungle warfare and the use of tanks is somewhat limited whereas the Soviet campaign is based on the capture of the city of Kharkov and other battles along the Dniepr river waged by the Soviet Red Army.

About the run:
The first three missions are fairly easy, but the last one is a mess. I did such a stupid mistake and lost the artillery on the central island to a lone allied soldier. Before that I shot at the other artilliery in order to destroy them so I could start my massiv counter attack. In order to win you need some artilliery to destroy the ships. Luckily it turned out that 2 artillery guns are still intact and I had 5 rounds of ammunition left (you dont have any units to refill the ammuniton at the start of the game). This was enough to destroy the ship. I landed on the beaches took over the islands and then the worst thing happened...somewhere on this huge map one or two allied soldiers were hiding and I had to search the map for a couple of minutes. I guess they were sitting in a building with no ammuniton. Eventually I found them and victory was ours.
