"Soldiers of Empires" is a PC game based upon classic wargame principles. You choose the actions of your own units, which can be to attack an enemy unit, to bombard an enemy unit with artillery fire, to move your unit or to reinforce and renew your unit with more men, tanks or other equipment. You can also form new units, adjust the rate of production of a particular tank or ordinance and also share a war production amongst your units. After you have finished with your turn you can choose to have your remaining units (with unused actions) to be played by the computer. The opponent can either be a human player or be played by the computer, depending on what option you have chosen at the start of the game.
Your primary task in the game, describing events on the East Front ( June 22, 1941 - May 9, 1945 ) - is to seize not less than 90% cities, that were controlled by your enemies initially at the start of the game ie the June 22, 1941 - this is a condition of victory in the game.
