    Has its flaws, but with more polish and improved naval and air AI, this could be one of the great light wargames.

I don't understand why people call this game a "SIMPLE TURN BASED STRATEGY GAME" to me this game is quite complex and might be worth the asking price o $15 for fans of the genre, there sure is a pretty big variety of troops to chose from since you can control dozens of countries each turn if you so chose to, but it sure isn't newbie friendly.

    If you are not a buff in strategy games, specially tactical turn based ones, then you might want to skip this one since the most troubling thing for me was that the tutorial for it is more confusing than it is helpful. Other than that this game is pretty solid, the fact that you can control multiple nations if you want is pretty cool.
