Blitzkrieg Anthology

This game is atrocious.

For a game that emphasizes careful positioning of units and timing, it sure doesn't do itself any favors by having the worst path-finding and AI ever created. Units will move to the general vicinity of the are you click (after spending a few minutes turning in circles) and sometimes tanks will reverse straight towards the enemy instead of turning around first. Infantry will crawl back and forth aimlessly while being ripped apart by machine guns. It is basically impossible to coordinate infantry and tanks as the whole formation becomes a wriggling mess. There are also some severe balance issues. A single AA gun will down hordes of planes, rendering bombers, fighters and aerial recon useless. Artillery is capable of destroying enemy units in seconds, both yours and the enemies, rendering infantry and tanks moot. The game also does not have any way to tell where enemies shooting you from off screen are. There should at least be a vague indication of where they are shooting from, given that guns make noise, but apparently all your soldiers are deaf as well as dumb. Only get this game if you nostalgic for the days when RTS games controlled like slugs and the graphics are an indecipherable mush of similar colors. Avoid if you want something that responds to your commands and allows you to actually implement your strategies.
