What players say
Been in my library and had never gotten around to it. I play Steel Division, COH, GOH, MOW, WARNO, Broken Arrow etc. and never realized I had this gem. Very good, I actually prefer to it the new Sudden Strike 5, although Sudden Strike 5 is still good. This game takes a bit to get used to, but once things, "click" it is very fun.
