The Sudden Strike series is a collection of real-time tactics (RTT) computer games set in World War II.[3] The series is developed by Fireglow based in Russia and published by CDV software of Germany and has since been re-published by ZOOM-Platform.com.[4][5] The player selects a faction (e.g. Soviets, Germans, or Allied forces) and gains control of many varied units such as infantry, tanks and artillery. The games focus primarily on tactics, eschewing traditional real-time strategy resource gathering and base development.

The original Sudden Strike, released in 2000, included three campaigns (Soviets, Germans, and Allied forces).[6] The battles are presented in an isometric perspective with line-of-sight occlusions and practical cover.[7] Sudden Strike helped pioneer the real-time tactics genre, building upon concepts established by Counter Action for DOS, which was published by Mindscape in 1996.[8]

Sudden Strike 2 was also developed by Russian developer Fireglow and published by CDV and was released in 2002.[9] The game has since undergone minor changes in its game engine and now features a higher resolution setting and other graphical changes. The campaign still involves the Soviets and Allies, against the Germans and a new country, Japan.
