Like Commandos 3 and Cannon Fodder, Soldiers: Heroes of World War II lets you control a small number of troops while attempting to complete missions in which the odds are stacked against you. Typically, you'll find yourself with only three or four troops at your disposal, and in many cases, you won't be particularly well armed until you manage to scavenge additional weaponry by finding it or removing it from the bodies of fallen enemies. The 25-plus weapons available in the game include everything from knives and rifle butts to sniper rifles, machine guns, and even Molotov cocktails. Although none of the soldiers in the game specialize in certain roles, there's no reason why you can't create your own specialists by simply arming them with the appropriate weapons.
