Jay,
I am a former WW2OL player, was on the German High Command for a little over a year. Ill give you the run down.
Currently there is three countries to choose from, France, Great Britain (Both Allies/One team) and Germany (Axis). You can choose which country you want to be in and then after choosing you can choose one of three careers for each country (Not a permanent choice), Navy, Airforce, and Army. Each career you have a separate ranking, you start as a recruit with basic weapons then with each rank you gain you have access to more weapons and abilities, such as creating missions and ect.
The game is played on ONE map on ONE server, the map is a half scale replica of Europe and the object of the game is to capture enough towns for your country to win the war. On average a war, or campaign, lasts from 30 - 45 days. The weapons for all sides start out as they did in early WWII, 1939, and as the RDP (Research Development Production) cycles complete more advanced tanks, airplanes, AT guns, ect. will become available. An RDP cycle typically takes about 6-8 days to complete at full capacity, however factories are connected to each country and they directly affect the production cycle depending on their damage taken from bombings, so bombing raids have a tremendous effect on the tide of war. If you constantly harass your enemies factory you can delay their RDP cycle for a few days, giving you a few days to kick some oscar.
To capture a town there is typically 4 - 6 capture points or, CPs, with 1 - 2 army base or , AB. You must capture the AB in order to kick out the enemy and keep them from spawning in the town, you MUST capture all ABs and CPs to capture the town and be able to move a brigade in to spawn and defend or to launch another attack. Each CP and AB has a table that you stand by, or near, and you wait till it is captured (Just like in Battlefield).
The game is an open world just like AH, and just like in AH there are places where action does not happen for hours and hours. Luckly the map will tell you where the action is, it will tell you which town is being attacked or being defended. Along with that people are able to deploy Mobile Spawn Points, these are usually located near a town out of danger, you can spawn from these points as long as they are up...they can be up for as long as they want until they are destroyed by the enemy. (MSPs are just transport trucks)
Get involved with some of the higher ups, you will be able to get attack orders and also nation-wide messages to help get people join your attack. You need attack orders in order to be able to capture a town, without an attack order the tables for the CPs and ABs will not be there. HC, High Command, members are the only ones able to post messages to all your allies in all careers in all brigades and are the only ones able to post attack orders.
Here is a series of videos that I watched that tremendously helped me when I first got started:
