Strategic Studies Group, commonly known as SSG, is an Australian software development company that makes strategy wargames. They are the creators of the Decisive Battles of World War II series which includes the games The Ardennes Offensive game, Korsun Pocket game, and Battles in Normandy game.
In the 1980s, Strategic Studies Group created popular war and strategy games for Apple II, Atari, Commodore 64, and IBM PC series of computers. Well-known titles included MacArthur's War, Reach for the Stars (later updated and published by Strategic Simulations, Inc. and Matrix Games), Carriers at War, Rommel, Europe Ablaze, Gold of the Americas, and Decisive Battles of the American Civil War (in three volumes). Several of these titles were also released for 16-bit platforms including the Amiga, Atari ST, and Macintosh during the late 1980s.
They also made the Warlords series of fantasy turn-based games. In a mutually friendly decision in 2003, Warlords designer Steve Fawkner broke away from Strategic Studies Group and started Infinite Interactive to publish further Warlords games.
