I got this game back in 1995 and still use the mousepad with its box cover to this day. Back then everyone was waiting for a tank simulator set in WW2 by Microprose, right in the line of M 1 Tank Platoon (still missing from GOG by the way). The screenshots promised tank vs tank battles. BUT "1944 - Across the Rhine" (as it was called originally) is a strategy game not a tank simulation. When you see a tank in the 1st person view the tank represents a platoon. As a strategy game it lacks depth. I give it three stars mostly because of nostalgia. If you are a Microprose simulations fan better think twice. And wait for M 1 Tank Platoon.
