Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
14 of 134 sampled reviews raised it
Its a really interesting blend of Men of War where you can grab individual soldiers and make them do stuff and Combat Mission where the battles happen on pretty big areas with tanks, artillery, planes, infantry and the way the infantry moves, spots, shoots, misses, aims again, hits reminds me a lot of Combat Mission.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
11 of 134 sampled reviews raised it
This, is a game for Die Hard Strategy fans, and I mean DIE Hard, the kind that will micromange and face extreme Difficulty and Realism, wait hours for anything to happen, and still be entertained.
