‘We focus on how countries really compete today. Not just with armies, but with economics, politics, influence, and global reach. That’s why the game takes place worldwide — not only in Europe.
Modern conflicts are global. What happens in one region now impacts the entire world. This makes Play of Battle more accurate, and gives it a much stronger chance of success.’
