It is pricier than 84 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 81 percent. On the same math First Strike ($11.99, scores 29) and Wargame: European Escalation ($9.99, scores 53) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

What players say
Previous games : Codename panzers phase 1 and 2. Similar game : Road to Berlin I played all years ago and enjoyed it. The reason why i set my teeth on the lastest release, Cold War. Game style : * fun RTS * rock paper scissor mechanism * no base building * fog of war * in essence only infantry and amory (tanks, APC) so no air or naval battles * healing (infantery) and repairing units (APC) * no indepth tactics...
1 more review, not recommended
The first game was one of my favourites from my childhood and I still enjoy playing it, the second game was a good Africa expansion. This however doesn't feel like a Panzers game, it feels like a choppy mess with better graphics that didn't know what it wanted to be.
