If only this game had Wi-Fi, and I didn't have to find friends who actually owned this gem of a game. The game-play is superb, they took what they know worked and just continued with that onto a better and much more popular system. If you can't get past playing with little kids in a war like situation then wait for the next one. But if you need a fix of a DS Turn Based Strategy and a little bit of RTS (the Combat Option) then pick this up...if you can find it. It goes for about 70 on ebay...good luck.
