But what about replayability, you may ask?

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
You have a very limited number of "command points" per front/army group every term, and an extremely limited save game system - so while learning the interface and basic concepts is easy enough, learning what you actually want to choose to get the results you want requires a lot of trial and error in a "live" campaign game.
