Possibly the best squad-based RTS I've played...

This game simply has it all. From amazing physics, superb attention to detail on buildings, fires, explosions, and surrounding environments, the game builds the landscapes to look as realistic as possible. But it doesn't stop there. The squads do a good job of handling themselves and the banter between fights is pretty hilarious, albeit full of cussing, which might turn some people off but I doubt that, considering one has to know they're buying into a WW2-era RTS.

Defensive positioning is pretty good and at times, you have to hand-hold the squads from being simply crushed by the enemy's charges. Either way, it's the only RTS that I'm currently playing and I haven't gotten bored with it at all as both the single player and the multiplayer entertain for quite a while.

I put the learning curve to 30-60 minutes because that's about how long I took the really get the game's mechanics but it might take some longer and others shorter. All in all, I say it's best in its series.
