Decidedly tactical
The AI of this game is pretty bad, and I hate micromanagement, but I still had a good time. What allowed me to enjoy the game was how carefully the game made me invest in my army and gave me control over my units. You get points for completing objectives that you can use to requisition units for your army between missions. That's common. However, unlike many games with this mechanic, what actually persist in your army are the soldiers. Most self propelled vehicles, including tanks, come with a crew. It's the crew, not the vehicle, that gains experience. If a vehicle blows up, the crew exits. If you manage to save that crew, you can give them a new vehicle later at a lower cost (because you are not requisitioning a crew) and they bring their experience to the new vehicle. In fact, if you change vehicles mid mission, as you can freely do, you can potentially get a deadlier unit with the same experience. Towed guns can be operated by any infantry. Between missions, you can freely switch vehicles and customize your army without any point penalty. Infantry get upgrades like different grenades or binoculars or even a boat, and those can also be freely switched between missions. This uncommon army mechanic made my army feel valuable yet flexible. So I didn't mind the micromanagement so much. To further strengthen the micromanagement, the game gives a lot of freedom to control your units in battle. Infantry has three stances with different characteristics. All units can be set to active or passive combat. There is a dedicated reverse move button. In fact, if you try to move a vehicle backward even a short distance without explicitly order reverse move, your vehicle will turn around, move to the new location, then turn around again. Pause is just a spacebar press away whenever you need it. I used it a lot. Codename Panzers feels like a compromise between CoH and Men of War. It's not as complicated as MoH but still has enough complexity and persistence to be addictive.
