Commanders of War is a mod based towards realism. Commanders of War also offers the player lots of variety, in terms of infantry squads, vehicles, cannons, maps and tactics. The long-range artillery is now better than ever. Having an abundance of ammo, it can deliver barrages throughout almost the entire game, depending on the set timelimit and provided that they remain intact. The battles are huge in comparison to those of the regular FoW. And there are plenty of options to adjust the budget.

Change list:

-The battles are bigger.
-There is a very wide variety of vehicles, infantry units and maps available.
-The artillery pieces and mortars have lots of ammunition.
-Use of camoflage is common among the German panzers.
