On the other hand, if you enjoy Risk or even chess, give Call to Arms a try. If you prefer complex wargames with a lot of statistics and realistic features, this isn't a game for you. In the end, Call to Arms' limited gameplay is both a boon and a bane to wargamers, depending on what kind of game you want. When one player captures all the territories on the map, the game ends.

After you finish your turn, the computer than makes moves and calculates combat losses and wins, updating the number of units in each territory for the next round. Gameplay in Call to Arms is perhaps best described as a 'numbers' wargame: orders are limited to reinforce, attack, and pull, plus choosing the number of units to carry out each of these orders. There are only 2 maps to choose from: Europe in 1942 and Scotland in 1750, but at least you can toggle various options to make the game more replayable, such as random assignment of countries and the number of initial force in each. I've run into quite a few of the new melee variants in missions, but haven't encountered any in the shops yet, so it might be that going for salvage is the best method for acquiring them.One of the first abstract wargames ever made, Call to Arms is unfortunately not among the best, although it is by no means a bad game. I haven't played with the Assassin, but it might have the speed to actually make good use of the claw or hatchet you equip it with. You get an Assassin-25 and the Hatchetman for completing the DLC mission chain. That said, you're probably going to want to just keep an eye out for the new variants, since they get all the flashy new melee weapons.

I can't recall if I've seen any small melee weapons. The nomenclature is also confusing, because we have light medium melee weapons, medium medium and medium large, heavy medium and heavy large, and assault medium and assault large options. There are upgrades for either of those, I'm not sure how their damage and range looks compared to just not equipping anything at all. It looks like all the existing variants had their fists and lower arm weapons converted to medium melee weapon slots. Like Taolan13 said, it's really just trial and error at this point.
