BATTLEGROUND EUROPE - Volume 1 of the WWII Online Virtual Battlefield Series - is a totally unique MMOG that delivers the ultimate Player v Player (PvP) experience where only your skills and knowledge, and those of your enemy, determines your fate and the outcome of the war. Its design allows players with adequate rank to plan and carry out tactical missions in first-person combat. Even decisions and strategic planning that control Research, Development and Production (RDP) of weapons, and the supply and deployment of equipment and troops, are in the hands of each country's High Commands that are staffed by high-ranking players.

Grab a rifle or machine gun and experience heart-stopping infantry action or choose to advance your skills in one of dozens of accurately modeled combat vehicles, naval vessels or aircraft. Succeed and help the cause of the Allied or Axis forces. Fail and watch your side get pushed back and struggle for a foothold in this massive, persistent online world involving players from around the world competing in 24x7 action to help their country win the war for their side.
