CEAW  lets  you  command  the entire  Allied or Axis forces  in the European
Theatre  of  War between 1939 and 1945.  Your ultimate objective  is to gain
control  of more European capitals than the enemy when the  game thunders to
an end in 1945 (or,  if you so choose in the pre-game options, keep plugging
away  until  one  side  or the  other is reduced  to  a  smouldering heap).
Conquered  enemy capitals count for more than just holding on  to your own.
So,  simply  put,  youll  spend all your time defending  your cities while
trying  to  manouevre around (or through)  the enemy to get  theirs.  Its a
high-level  game,  which means that each unit on the map represents a huge
number  of men and/or machinery.  Youre not going to  be nudging individual
soldiers  across  bridges,  but rather commanding several  hundred thousand
soldiers to  take Moscow,  all with a few clicks of the mouse.  For the more
militarily savvy among you,  youll be  conducting corps level  operations.
