WWII is the era of real life Heroes, and what a great tribute to the sacrifice those heroes put forth. Now you can be quite litterally sucked into the battle on a visceral and downright frightening level. The explosions, the shouting, the sound of brass hitting the floor. It's crazy. Body parts flying this way and that. It's not for the faint of heart. The significance of taking and holding ground. Emplacements to deny access or to deter. Combined arms tactics. Logistics of supply chain. All represented in this game. If the enemy takes a key sector that links further sectors you are cut off from supply. All of these things must be taken into careful consideration. Economy of force. Doing the job with the minimal amount necessary to achieve the objective. Momentum is key here, just as in any other RTS. Knock the enemy off their feet and keep it on rollin'. If you like armor, you can focus on Armor. Airborne, or straight leg infantry. Each has a unique upgrade and focus tree. Airborne drops in from the sky a squad at a time. Drop some supply and use half of it to man a machine gun. Reinforce the squad, then take the mortar. Reinforce again, and it becomes a quasi heavy weapons platoon all from one squad and one drop. Powerful indeed. Do you want to keep that building for yourself, or blast it to kingdom come? The choice is yours. I like to skirmish in any RTS, and with the 3 different tech tree factions, each map can be played in very different styles. Therefore, in my opinion, the replayability is good. I used to wonder if some day the camera view would be able to pan from isometric to on the ground 3rd person view. This title will do that for you, which is vital to terrain analysis. I say this is a must to any collection. Warmonger or peacenick. It is truly a work of art. Now to build a faster computer...
