I really want to love this game. I've put way too many hours into Civil War and WWII hex based games, but this one just doesn't make the cut. It's got some interesting ideas, but ultimately it just is missing something. I tried for several hours to win the 1939 Poland Campaign as the Germans expecting a blitzkrieg type game, so I bought tanks. Instead, it just turned into WW1, with the legions of Polish heavy infantry hunkering down in trenches and woods, back but a seemingly endless supply of artillery and anti-air guns. The maps didn't offer real opportunity for maneuver, or really a benefit to moving around the flanks, and the scenario became an exercise in futility.2 found this helpful
A fun tactical game. Rediculous huge heap of scenarios and campaigns. Playing Normandy 44. Not easy as US. Quickly ran out of manpower building units and healing units. Selected the policy Conscription to boost recruitment. I found managing the air war to be the most challenging. Air fields are hard to see. Strikes must be judicious. An AA unit hiding behind the target unit can blast your aircraft to smithereens. It is a game not an historical simulation. For example, you can land units amphibiously on any coast hex. Doesn't matter if the geography has no beach, only bluffs that fall into the sea. But it is close enough to historical to get the feeling of the conflict. Recommend 7.5/10. Not game of the year but exceptional value for the price. Well done dev.1 found this helpful
awesome
grbg. Mechanics are broken, no balance whatsoever.
GREAT! A more in depth PanzerCorps. Mods make it even better! I wish logistics were more in depth. Worth every penny.
Wonderful game. If you enjoyed Panzer General/Corps or Strategic Command series, you must buy this game. It has modes that reflect both types of games and is a wonderful version of the same style of play.
