  1. I am addicted to this game. I can’t stop playing mission after mission. The strategy is fun, and the graphics make it visually stimulating.
  2. Effectively dodges dull micromanagement in pushing faster tactical action, but it still throws some sticks in the spokes of smooth gameplay. [Feb 2003, p.81]

    The game doesn't do anything that is particularly special even if it has most of the bases covered.
  4. The only time the game comes close to evoking WWII is in the cleverly done faux-newsreel footage that is a backdrop to the game credits. [Mar 2003, p.104]

    Nobody understands true wargaming games. It is true, you have to really understand WW2 to get alot out of this game. PLEASE PEOPLE THINK BEFORE RATING. The only reason it's a 9 is becuase the AI is sometimes stupid.(e.g sending waves of soldirs into my mg's.) All in all this is a very underapriciated, solid game Collapse

    This game has awesome graphics that gives it a more battlefield type environment and a broader tactical and strategic opportunity. It also has great variety of different units that allow combined armed forces to be employed efficiently, and organizing these units are made easy. Drawbacks include inaccurate hit points on units and cpu tactical and strategic doctrines compared to real live battles. Expand
