for me there's 3 levels of wargames / sims etc, from level one type like panzer corps ie Panzer General etc / unity of command, HISTORY Legends of War and some of the Close Combat games i call these easy to play for most casual players, then there's level 2 types like Flashpoint Campaigns Red Storm, bit more in depth, still easy to pick up and play for level 1&2 users, but gives a bit more for you to get your teeth in, play wise etc, learning curve and tutorials are the best that any game so far have given (for me anyway) so 5 stars and well deserved best game of the year award fully deserved etc.
for me this level of detail is great, not to in depth and ahrd to play it puts the casual to medium player like myself off, and not arcade like some level 1 type games with next to no re play ability , this game with some good maps and mods/ more missions, dlc's will be great for many years to come.
then there's level 3 games, like Gary Grigsbys War in the East, very hard core and what i'd call a diehard type, you need to read and remember the manual more than anything, not really a game, more of a job to play, bit too hardcore and not the easiest game to get into or master for most unless you spend alot of time losing and re reading, the rewards are good, but the time needed to master is long for most, very hardcore  well is for me anyway, at 47 years old, been playing now since 12/13 on many computers over the years, had some great wargames over that time from ARNHEM & Desert Rats (1985)Theatre Europe (1986)Kampfgruppe, Panzer Strike and Typhoon of Steel, steel panthers,Perfect General, Operation Crusader, War in Russia 1984, etc etc, i could go on, my game collection is vast and spans my life, have played them all to death and loved em all, it's nice to see the younger ones still making and playing them today, hope for many more to come over the next few years.
congrats

The finest operational war game I've ever played - 
This is the game I've been waiting for since I picked up 'Team Yankee' and 'Red Storm Rising' 30 years ago. All my groghead friends are getting the heads up from me about your little masterpiece
