Good game... when it does work...
CC2 is a great tactical game with an interesting operational level campaign. Unfortunately I just could not make this GOG version work properly on my Win10 PC. While individual battles work well, campaign causes CTD after the first successful tactical battle. Since autosave only works after leaving the debriefing screen, this bug essentially makes campaigns unplayable. It is shame since while CC2 lacks the area movement campaign game later installments in the series added to the CC experience, I think this particular episode was one of the hallmarks of CC games. While later games added some necessary graphical enhancements and additional options to the tactical and operational levels, CC2 hit the sweet spot of small-scale tactical combat with infantry and support elements in a limited area and timeframe - which is exactly where the moral-based real-time combat system shines. The game aged rather well. The UI is fine for the amount of units involved in battles, 2D battlefield graphics are still fine (it would do with a proper LOS tool, though), audio is excellent and adds a lot to the overall experience. It is amazing how well some low-res sprites of bodies on the ground and the screams of soldiers - along with the great moral system - convey the horrors of war. It is just a shame that compatibility issues make this experience unavailable on most modern systems. 8,5/10 for the game in case you are lucky enough to somehow avoid CTDs.
