A great old-school strategy game. A must-have for grognards.

This game is very underrated. Give it a try, if you are a grognard like me you will be pleased... The difficulty is well balanced, the AI good. I'm surprised someone states it's too difficult... At normal level I had 4 gold victories at the first try, then a silver and again all golds. Only the final mission gave me some real problem, but after two defeats I completed the human campaign.
The game presents some interesting innovations and RPG elements, but it's mainly a good, solid wargame. The interface is handy, units are well described and you can master the game without reading a single line of the manual, because missions introduce only some new units at a time, so you aren't overwhelmed by innovations. Music isn't great, you can disable it, but sound effects and voice acting are good.
The graphic is a little outdated, but it's very functional and clear.
Very, very nice.
