One of the best strategy games ever. The gameplay system is great, it is engaging, addictive... the only issue is the old game engine that starts to show. Still, great graphics for the time. I made the mistake of disregarding this game for being old and for having played CoH2 and thinking this would be worse. Do not make the same mistake.
