Stand up soilder and be ready for a fight that you may well not make it out of. Remember this fight fight fight.
Many of you may have played a game called Company of Heros and Men of War is alot like that but in many ways its differant but good differant. In COH your building up your froces as you would a normal RTS game and the units you get do not realy change that much. In Men of War on the other hand the men under your control can fill any role they can find a weapon for...Kill an enemy and pick up his weapon...manage the damage a tank and kill the crew or find a damaged tank with no crew and you can fix that tank up and use it to help you win the battle.
Some of the missions in Men of War reflect this...In one you start off with a lone soilder who after being taken by the enemy finds himself in a room with two germans who want info out of him...10-15 mins latter and that same soilder is free after an attack by some rebels and he now has to find a weapon to aid the rebels in there fight. By the end of this mission you have a small team of men on the run from a huge german force and you have to make a dash for it.
Now that is not to say that all of the mission are on a small scale in Men of War. There are many many mission where your in control of a small unit of men at first laying the ground work for a much larger force later on in the same mission. Some have you attacking bases or trying to punch a hole in enemy lines...others at the start of the larger mission have a small team of men sneaking behind enemy line to plant charges and deal with mine feilds to make your own attack much easyer.
The there are the die trying missions where you have to hold out for as long as you can. Be it setting your own mines and units up or placing the heavy guns down in the right place to buy you more time. Yes your going to lose but the long you hold out the better chance that train being stocked up or the undefended fleet of ships can get away.

Is Men of War the perfect WW2 game....I have to say no it is not...the voice acting is not the best in fact many times it can realy pull you out of the game but other than that Men of War is good at what it does and that is give the feel at what fighting in WW2 was like for them many many people who died.
So if your a RTS fan and a fan of WW2 games then this one is well worth looking into.
