Simply the most in-depth military simulation RTS ever made
Simply the most in-depth military simulation RTS ever made. The attention to detail is astounding, the immersion total and the possibilities endless. Exemple scenario: Your squad is reduced to 6 men barely holding on to a destroyed church. Your bazooka operator is dead, a panzer IV just showed its nose around the corner to the west and 2 squads of fresh infantry are running in the field to the east. In most games you'd be done, but not In this one. You can have a medic throw a smoke grenade on the deceased bazooka operator and send an infantryman to pickup the weapon and ammo on the corpse, shoot the panzer then have 3 others rain AT and AP grenades on it while the crew is shocked, while another soldier grabs the MG42 a dead german left and repositions it in a window overlooking the eastern field, allowing him to wipe out most of the enemy infantry. The window gets blown up by a mortar but this bought enough time for your Sherman and extra squad to show up and clear the rest. You place the tank aiming down the street behind a downed truck and scatter your men around the buildings to catch the counter attack.

I bought this game for one reason only and that is to treat it like a FPS
I bought this game for one reason only and that is to treat it like a FPS. I know that's weird for a RTS/FPS hybrid game, but for myself, I love having boots on the ground and feeling like I'm part of an epic battle. So, I simply choose a map under multiplayer and do local play. The map size has to be 2 vs 2 or 3 vs 3 for this to work right. I play with 1 or 2 AI team mates and here's the kicker - I let them do all the heavy lifting against enemy AI while I form up a squad, or jump into a tank and away we go, one big battle. I know for all the strategists out there who love multitasking and looking at things from a bird's-eye view would cringe at me playing this way, but I absolutely enjoy playing like this. It doesn't give me any XP but I'm not interested in getting that since I don't play against humans as I know they would kick my can, and I wouldn't be able to play constantly in first-person. So, for the few people out there like myself, I'd highly recommend the game. There are some sweet mods out there that really make the game look/play great. I got it on sale for $10 so I really wouldn't complain about much.

It's the Arma of RTS's
It's the Arma of RTS's. Destruction, lighting things on fire and having the fire spread, unit options are huge, direct control of any unit. This blows every other WW2 RTS out of the water and is a true labor of love.
