Head to WW2 with Periscope Games’ wartime strategy Squad 44.

Wartime Strategy

Squad 44 is a meticulously crafted World War 2 simulation game that offers a unique perspective on the events of 'Operation Market Garden'. The game plunges players into the heart of Holland, enabling them to live through the British and American Airborne's strategic capture of key bridges. The game highlights the struggle of the 1st British Airborne Division in Arnhem, known as the 'The Bloody Seventh', as they held their positions against the odds. The game caters to a diverse range of tactical preferences, giving players the chance to fight alongside various factions from the British Airborne Division to the German Army.

Historical Authenticity

The game prides itself on its historical accuracy, mirrored in an array of features - from the 1:1 scale levels based on military archives and historical maps to the photorealistic 3D uniforms. A broad set of actions, including parachute drops, supply runs, base building, and artillery support, ensures an immersive player experience. The Post Scriptum Software Development Kit (SDK) and Steam Workshop support empower players to modify or add content after release.
