The overall player score is judged by the following: German industry collateral, German town collateral, and Luftwaffe production completion. The game has multiplayer options.

Critical reception

Bruce Grey of GameSpot acknowledged the game was meticulously researched, but that the end result was mediocre at best.[1][2] CDMag's David Chong compared its "horrible interface" and "unimaginative game engine" to that used in Battle of Britain.[3] John Thompson of The Adrenaline Vault thought the game's "pinpoint detail", "historical accuracy" and "depth of play" saw it trail in the legacy of 1977 Avalon Hill wargame Panzer Blitz.[4]

gollark: Ah, yes, one line of code, fascinating.
gollark: I mean, with password-lock things you can stick it in a disk drive and read it off, but there's no real way around full disk encryption.
gollark: Well, not all the time, really.
gollark: But why?
gollark: It's also very hard to patch over all the possible ways to regain access to the old `fs` API, like `getfenv`, `debug`, and sometimes `load`.
