Worse than previous versions.
I've played strategy games since 1974. Compared with the original Strategic Command of 2002, it is not as good. All hours put into reworking this game are lost by the final product being confusing to play. Graphics are muddy. What is a Mountain or Forest or Hilly hex? You'll find trouble moving units. See other review about poor play in China. Designers still haven't changed Air units taking up an entire hex and blocking ground unit movement. They still haven't included stacking of units in hexes (LOTS of acres in real life). The "switching" technique to move units from behind the front line to the front line doesn't help much. The control for this is sloppy, using two hot-keys + mouse to see an arrow which can disappear. The GUI is NOT very intuitive. Tutorial is too brief and only found in the manual. You must follow written notes with your game. It's NOT on screen. Tutorial doesn't match units on screen (entrenchment values). Each game, and all units, are placed AS IS, often poorly placed. You can't change your opening attack or defense. Editor is poorly presented, including terrain graphics. No mouse-hover to explain choices. If you place something wrong, you are faced with DOZENS of alternatives! If you work an hour making changes and make a mistake, pressing the Undo button will remove that mistake AND ALL YOUR WORK UP TO THAT POINT! Saving your work frequently in the Editor brings up a screen listing maybe 20 items with problems in the Event Generator, with no info what is changed by choosing "Yes" or "No" to continue. Saving your game during play does NOT allow you to alter the NAME given you. You can't discern from other games of that scenario with the same year and date. It simply overwrites the other game saved! Cost is $40, sale is $15. The original 2002 game with clear graphics was $5. The painting of He-111 flying over boats is about the clearest thing in this 2018 game. Advertising! I say NOT TO BUY IT. Graphics and Controls fail this game. Shame!

still fun in 2025!
Despite its shortcomings the game is still fun in 2025. The graphics can be a problem though since it can be sometimes very hard to figure out borders and units. Also the sound effects are very repetitive and the music is just ok.
