Gameplay

Clash of Wills is a game in which the Eastern Front and Western Front of Europe during World War II (1940-1945) is simulated. [3]

Reception

M. Evan Brooks reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World , and stated that "This reviewer has mixed feelings about the product. The scope of the simulation is laudable; its execution is not. Its failures could well have been corrected with some additional development. The designers did not choose to do so, and the net result is a game with a potential for greatness, but a realization of minimal adequacy, at best." [3]
