Iron Cross

About

Iron Cross blends real-time combat with turn-based planning in a WWII France setting. Build a custom character and take control in one of 12 scenarios from Allied or Axis perspectives. Promotions or demotions hinge on your performance adjusting unit availability. Each decision impacts how the war unfolds through your eyes. The game uses top-down 2D SVGA sprites for its maps and units. Historical notes accompany every scenario adding context to the conflicts. A scenario editor lets you tweak missions or create new ones. Released in late 1994 it remains a niche pick for strategy fans looking to test their tactical mettle against historical battles.
