Clash of Steel is a grand strategy computer game released in 1993 by Strategic Simulations for MS-DOS.
[citation needed] Computer Gaming World in 1993 stated that Clash of Steel was reminiscent of Hitler's War and "a gamer's game—quick-playing, entertaining and reasonably accurate.
"[1] A survey of wargames by the magazine gave Clash of Steel four-plus stars out of five, calling it "strategic and eminently playable ... everything that Storm Across Europe should have been and wasn't".
[2] Clash of Steel won Computer Gaming World's Wargame of the Year award in June 1994.
[3] Elsewhere in the issue, the magazine stated that "Although Clash has its share of flaws, it won our award based upon its most important underlying virtue: the fun factor", describing it as a "game-about history" and not "history-in-a-game" and comparing it to The Russian Campaign.
