Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
82 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
That being said, the principle focus of the game is on the insanely accurate modelling of the vehicles, weapons, unit formations, and most notably the Tactical AI that does a lot of the dirty work and controls your soldiers at the most basic level.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's a fun war game for small to medium scale battles with a lot of hidden simulated mechanics, regarding spotting, armor penetration, inter unit communication, morale, etc.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
But the learning process had probably the sharpest learning curve and the most fun but painful experience I've ever had with a game.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game features 1v1 multiplayer (no coop, unless using steam remote play and sharing mouse and keyboard) and a scenario editor, which I like.
