While many argue that cc2 is the best, this game takes place expands on the original cc2 premise with: - the strategic map: which allows you to move your battle groups to the maps you want, so not as linear as cc2. - the unit choice: no more divisions between infantry and support units - unit orientation - night combat - artillery and air strikes I also own Gateway to Caen but this one is more fun because of the larger strategic map, the role that bridges play and the non platoon based selection.
