About Counter Action

Counter Action is a real time strategy title that emerged in a period when many games were inspired by the Command & Conquer series. Its gameplay focuses exclusively on battlefield command, omitting elements like base construction and resource collection that were common in the genre.

The game is set during World War II on the Eastern Front. Players have the option to command either the German or Russian armies, with each side featuring its own campaign consisting of fourteen missions.

Despite its simplified economic model, the core tactical experience remains aligned with contemporaries, where direct unit control and concentrated assaults are central strategies.
