Classic, old fashioned, simple. Difficult due to limited AI: you will often run into situations where you have to fight superior units, but the game is so simplistic, that your options to tackle the problem are few. I think the game expects you to just give up and walk away from those fights till you've grinded enough to unlock more units, or better units, but you are capped on the quality of unit you can get per chapter, so quantity becomes the only option. So even if you grind, you will still take casualties. There is no perfect solution, which is a good thing, but you have few options, which is bad. You will either master the cheese, or you will grind. Either way, the learning curve is shallow and subtle. You can speed run the game if you don't mind blunt force trauma. But if you want to play efficiently, you're going to have to chew on each chapter for a while, and take your time. But it is nice that the game doesn't chain you down with rules. The limitations are logistical. There is no hard limit, you can theoretically win, even in impossible situations... you just have to adjust your victory conditions. For example, you may soft lock yourself if you lose all your armor piercing weapons, but there are many objectives you can cheese by spamming infantry, so long as you have supply trucks and supply caches to reinforce them over and over. Again, a terrible bloody solution, but it is a solution. Those are the kinds of dilemmas the game faces you with. There aren't any hard counters besides AAA vs planes, but there are subtle limitations that can be exploited. For example, some types of AAA can't hit high altitude aircraft. So you may think you can't use air support in a given sector due to AAA coverage, but then you find out they are using low altitude Bofors, and you have strat bombers. You aren't told this, you just find out through trial and error. Here is something cool: fighters can perform ground attacks, if assigned to that role, while retaining their air-to-air capabilities: Combined with their speed, and high cruising altitude, they can bypass most AAA until they are on a strafeing run. And because of their high speed, they are very hard for AAA to actually hit, meaning if they aren't distracted, they can sometimes defeat AAA in a one-on-one fight. Sadly, the game never give you fighters in the ground attack role: but they do sometimes put dive bombers into the bomber role. There are loads of mechanical secrets hidden in the game, that require experimentation to find.

Best "all around" war game on the market. One MAJOR problem you can "overrule" with setting opposing strength at 4 is way too heavily overloaded opposing forces. Just think of your battalions facing their companies.

Still one of the best WW2 strategy game! Not like new games, what rushing you to kill, shoot ratatatata.... This game is closer to real operations and strategy thinking. Only the guns and weapons range is a bit strangely short, but in some expansions it had been fixed. I only can recommend this old good game! Hopefully once it will be alive again for online games!
