    A deep and fun strategy game that shines in multiplayer. The only problem is that Commander feels very much like Strategic Command, but it is not quite as good. [Oct 2007]

    An excellent game for both hardcore strategy nuts and newcomers alike. An unassuming surface hides hours of ferociously addictive gameplay that's rivalled by few other titles.

    If, however, you're looking for a slow, tactical war command simulation then you need look no further.

    Solid combat system, very similar to Strategic Commander. Lack of a diplomacy system and special rules (East Europe, Spain...) ruins the final effect. Very little replay value for me.… Expand
