Great for non-RTS players too!
First, let it be said that I'd have bought this here instead of on Steam if it was available sooner and it's a little too pricey to buy twice. Shame, I'd rather have it on GOG. Now to the review, which is going to be specifically written for people like me, rather than an average RTS fan. I'm not a good RTS player. I have a single-track mind and taking care of an entire battlefield is just too much for me. There's an easy remedy to this if you have friends: leave a half of the battlefield to someone else! Of course, the game still has to provide for this and not every RTS does. WARNO does it well. Like its predecessors in the Wargame series, the game allows you to play on maps designed for a certain number of players, but doesn't limit you to that number. The number of units available to a side remains unchanged. You get to choose which player gets which units and in the campaign mode you can even tune the distribution of spawn points between players, which means you can let your more experienced friend have more control and take only as much as you can handle. So you get fewer units, but it doesn't mean your friend will have all the fun while you get bored moving one unit. The biggest strength of this game (and those it builds upon) is in the level of micromanagement possible with its units. You can control a single tank, a couple of recon dudes and a mortar and have all the fun in the world, because of the depth of the relations between different roles of units and their abilities. GOG doesn't allow reviews long enough to cover this properly, but the fact that this game allows much fun to be had with few units is evidenced by the popularity of the so called tactical games, 10v10 matches on tiny 1v1 maps. Additionally, the campaigns (playable in coop) are engaging and provide meaningful gameplay on the strategic level as well. Bottom line: if you have someone to play it with, it's well worth its full price, because you'll get hundreds of hours out of it.
