I strongly recommend this Game to Veterans of Wargaming, People who think HoI3 Black Ice is far too easy on the highest Difficulty.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
38 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Combat, supply, leadership and infrastructure are all dealt with in clear but detailed and complex ways, and if you play through the scenarios in increasing complexity, you can slowly learn the mechanics of the game.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Everything is detailed down to the last soldier, tank (the equipment even has information about armor, weapons, and when they will be replaced), rifle, and even the number of cartridges for it.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Though the game has a solid AI, there are a robust set of multiplayer options.
