A damn good game, Combat Command 2: Desert Rats has nearly all the strategic depth of much more complex titles at half the cost in learning time.
Achieves exactly what many series games usually don't: it really gives you a feel for this much different theater and the combat that occurred there.
All you get is a well-polished strategic wargame that offers a ton of depth, unique scenarios, and historical accuracy.
The grognards out there will find much of value in Desert Rats, and I recommend it to them. Other gamers may want to think long and hard before investing their cash in a major niche title such as this.
It's a shame that the 17 scenarios in the game aren't linked into a single campaign, especially considering that many of the battles follow each other so naturally.
Some minor quirks and design decisions hamper the long-term enjoyment somewhat but overall, it's very good.

Summary Step into the shoes of Rommel or Patton in this second installment of the Combat Command 2 series with enhanced night attack capability and enhanced armor strength in 17 scenarios, including Sidi Rezegh, Kasserine Pass, El Guettar, and Oran.
