Daisenryaku Expert WWII: War in Europe English translation
大戦略エキスパートWWII · Great Strategy Expert WWII
A partial English patch for ASCII's Super Famicom wargame Daisenryaku Expert WWII: most of the menus are in English, enough to play the campaign.
What's translated
This first release, version 0.1, focuses on what you need to play: most of the menus in the game are in English, so you can manage units, move across the map and fight battles. The patch is not finished, though. Much of the game's other text is stored compressed in the cartridge, and the author hadn't cracked that yet at the time of release.
The game
Daisenryaku is a classic Japanese series of military strategy games. You move units turn by turn on a hex grid, in a style players of Advance Wars will recognise, but with real-world World War II equipment and maps of the war in Europe.
Playing it
The game uses the SA-1 chip, so pick an emulator that supports it. Apply the patch to your own copy of the Japanese cartridge, following the instructions on the romhack.ing page, where its maker is credited.
