## Description

Sandbox is the unlimited sequel to Strategy & Tactics: World War II. It discards historical restrictions and turn limits, letting you command any European army and steer history as you see fit. Recreate the era's politics or rewrite them entirely as you conquer Europe, Asia, and beyond. Random events like guerrilla movements and changing coalitions ensure endless replayability and unique histories each session.

Key features include accurate maps of Europe and Asia with over 950 regions, 39 playable countries, and units from infantry to armored vehicles. You decide how to spend conquered territories' resources—grow your army or boost R&D—and a dynamic event system keeps every game fresh. Note: Compatible with iPhone 5 and up, iPad 2 and up - may not work properly on older devices.
