This really is an excellent World World II strategy game. I'm surprised it hasn't gotten much attention on here. Reviews of the game in other forums complain about the graphics and perhaps the sound, but the graphics are fine. Better graphics would only slow the game down, take up more memory, and add nothing substantive to the game. The manual is very good, and you can get up and started fairly quickly. The rules are involved enough to make this an engrossing game without being too complex or overbearing. It's an immensing enjoyable game--the best of the World War II genre that I've played.

This is a great World War II strategy game in the mold of the Avalon Hill board games from years ago. The game is turn-based and fairly easy to pick up but pretty complex from a strategic aspect. There is some oversimplification of many aspects of modern warfare, but that's what makes it more playable. I've been playing this with a friend by email for several months and we both really enjoy it.

Beer and pretzels strategy/war game. Very easy to pick up and play. The game is very well designed, with good production values and an excellent interface. There's not a lot of depth to the game play but it's paced to keep you busy enough that you don't notice there's not a whole lot going on under the hood. If you already have one of the Strategic Command Games there's probably not much new here. If you're a Hearts of Iron type, this will probably bore you after a few hours of play. I enjoyed it enough to get through the big campaign once but I never considered going back for second game. I guess I was looking for a little more meat on the bone when I bought this game. But if you like your strategy on the lighter, faster paced side, this may be what you're looking for.
