Status: offline 		i think the price is fair, but for me i just wish i wasn't real time, so will give it a miss, i love to collect war games mind you, so once it's on budget i'll buy it but maybe won't give it much play, like most out atm, it's more of a arcade feel than a pure war game for me, from looks anyway'

with a high degree of realism


stands out as odd, as in all the video's i could find and watch, most time you start off with most of your units bunched up ready to be bombed as you'd never get them so close as to lose the whole lot in one bombing run or artillery strike etc, so think for now it's a miss for me, for both reasons, RTS isn't and won't be for me unless for one it's pause able and 2 less action more planning based and less of a clickfest and more of a slower pace.

Should have known. How about you? Have you played it yet?

Even if it was based on a hypothetical conflict originally, and was a total mess of a game when it first came out. The final version (with plenty of custom made scenarios and campaigns) is among my favorite games all time.

Status: offline 		I think it looks more like "Close Combat" then Combat Mission. I was about to pull the trigger, but then yeah no turn-based and yes click fest for sure! It dose look nice though, there are things I do like but will wait till it´s on sale.

Well Iam a sucker for tactical games so I had to edit this post after seeing a "pause" button in-game It´s downloading!

At first I thought there was alot of micro-management, but not so as the AI is quite forgiving. The video below sold me...
