Amazing! But with flaws...

If youre looking for a solid turn based war game this is it! It flawlessly ties in to different WW2 operations and campaigns. With lots of levels to win, you will be entertained for a good while before finally reaching the end.

There are also many units to choose from, each with their own respective strengths and weaknesses. Leaving many good things to be had, but arguably so. For example the game has a great amount of ground and air units, however when it comes to sea combat youre left with little options. A machine gun infantry unit (.30 cal and mg34 or mg42) would be a very nice addition, as well as u boats, submarines, and destroyers.

The graphics are quite amazing, giving you real time combat cut scenes that are both entertaining to watch and animated nicely as well.

My biggest issue however is enemy AI, which seems to play more of a defensive role and will sometimes make strange choices, such as ignoring your infantry capturing buildings, and certain vehicle types. The German army also never seems to want to capture your headquarters to win, even if that building is severely exposed.

The controls are also overall very intuitive, yet simple. My only complaint is not being able to undo movement, if you make a mistake moving one of your units, you cant change their position with a handy "confirm" button.

All in all its a great game. It may have its flaws, but it doesnt take away too much fun from the overall experience. Try it out, you wont be disappointed.
