Operation Europe: Path to Victory is a multiplatform war game where one or two players can compete in exciting World War II action. The object is the game is to fulfill any one of the military objectives for either Axis or Allied so that progress can be made in the "war that was supposed to end all wars." Players engage in combat around Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Central Europe, and North Africa. 16-bit likenesses of Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin, and Charles De Gaulle add to the realism of the game.
Unlike most games which show pictures of tanks and infantrymen, this game uses abstract numbers in the map view and saves the concrete illustrations of soldiers only when they lock horns on the battlefield or in an urban setting. Urban settings look a bit monotonous, like typical 1930s apartment buildings and offices.
