Status: offline 		Can someone tell me a bit about this game please ? I haven't played many of this type of game before,played Waterloo & Eastern Front on an Atari many years back & thats about it,but have time on my hands now & looking for something to occupy the "little grey cells".

I am thinking of buying this game but I am not into moving individual soldiers or squads etc.,(nothing against it,but just not my interest),I am looking for games at Company level or above,can this be done in this game?

Thanks for any info
Alan

If you want something at a slightly higher level I would suggest checking out Conquest of the Aegean (or the forthcoming Battles of the Bulge), also by Matrix. Personally I love this one and find it very accessible.

Status: offline 		Andrew,if that was meant for me why am I mistaken ?The vids I saw only showed squad level play,is there more ?
I was also relying on the reply I had from Chrisol which also says it is mainly squad level.

Subliminally this is the game you are looking for despite what you may think you want.
