Matrix Games tactical simulations

Forty-five detailed wargames from Matrix Games put you in charge of battalions, fleets and logistics where careful planning matters more than quick reflexes.

Heavy planning sits at the center of this collection, whether you are shifting large formations across a vast land front, shaping a navy over decades or directing squads through fields and villages. Gary Grigsby's War in the East 2, Rule the Waves 3 and Combat Mission Battle for Normandy show the range, from turn-based management of troops and resources to timed orders where terrain and cohesion decide outcomes. Expect slow sessions built around maps, orders and consequences.
