This game could be a great one but there are quite a few things that hold it back. From the little I played, the AI seemed OK, but not the unit AI. And here I am not adding things like - the arty can auto-shoot units that were never spotted when set to “fire at will”. The strategic layer is extremely simple, fortunately the tactical side is well rounded. Somehow it did not keep me playing, maybe because it feels a bit shallow even through its apparent complexity.
