After reading the stunning review by the Gamespot reviewer I decided to purchase this game. I have played many "turn based" war games and was a little worried because the one I have played in the past become very boring telling each unit what to do everytime. I decided I would shell out the $40 bucks and give it a go. Wow, I should have just burned two twenties in my drive way and went to bed. First, the game started out looking good, the graphics were sharp and I had my objective in hand. I started to instruct my tanks and other men what to do and quickly became very bored. After about 10 minutes I decided enough and hit the end turn button to watch my army move into action. An abbreviated 60 seconds later I watched as my tanks moved about a millimeter each only to learn that they were "bogged down on the grass. You have to be kidding me! There was no indication that the ground could not support a tank. Second, I told my men to advance and found it to be very difficult to get a group or platoon of men to advance together. This may be an oversite on my part since I had not played for very long, but it was frustrating. I found this game to be mind numbing and will never play it again. Save your $40 bucks and buy Blietzkreig.
