The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A methodical and tense turn-based wargame that recreates the tactical to operational level of World War II desert combat.

What players say

Players call this a light, quick wargame that plays like a digital board game, but they warn that the tutorial is poor and learning the d20 combat and supply system takes hours. Some call the AI weak and others report bugs and confusing UI, though long-time SGS fans enjoy the historical card events and short scenarios.
