Fun, historically detailed WWII game
You probably need to have an interest in WWII in general and the Eastern Front in particular to get the most out of this game, as some aspects of gameplay are sacrificed for the sake of recreating historical scenarios as accurately as possible. To me, this is not a downside. The Army General mode allows you to take control of one specific aspect of Operation Bagration. Some have complained that the focus is too narrow, but I completed the Orsha Campaign playing the Axis and found many hours of enjoyment in just this one option. The game shifts between a general map, which involves mostly moving units around to set up attacks or defenses, and the actual tactical battles, which take place in intricate detail. The general map is easy to understand, once you get the hang of it. The tactical battles are challenging, entertaining, and often quite intense. There are some moments of redundancy (defending the same areas, for instance), but there is often a pleasing diversity to the campaigns, as they run the spectrum from full-on meat-grinder scenarios (dumping more and more infantry at the enemy) to some quite nuanced positioning of artillery. As some critics have mentioned, you will likely spend most of the tactical campaigns with a fairly wide view of the battleground, to ensure you have your eye on everything that is happening, but unfortunately this means missing a lot of the detail. However, in a sense it is always good to know that the detail is there. Yes, your men may be represented by a little icon, but if you zoom in (or watch the replay), you will see that they really are hunkering down next to that burnt-out wall. Having said that, it would have been good to have more opportunities to coordinate up close. Still, overall this is a great game.
