  1. Political climate aside, this is a great game. It is well designed and features great replay ability.
  2. As empty-headed a treatment of modern conflict as you’re likely to find on store shelves. [Feb 2002, p.80]

    Pro: Well balanced units, No major hang ups with interface. Con: Brain damaged AI and pathing. Archaic game engine (Its a square grid!)
