FYI this review is about the single-player campaign. Never mind the WW2 setting, if you like real-time strategy or strategy in general, this is definitely a must-play. History buffs will appreciate the attention to detail and many nods to WW2 media such as Band of Brothers and Saving Private Ryan, as it portrays in part the efforts of the 101st Airborne during WW2. It's really nice to not worry about resource farming and just focus on combat. You generate resources by capturing territory, which is something you would be doing anyway. The infantry units are made up of squads which you control in their entirety instead of by individual units, and their AI makes them take cover, go prone while under suppressive fire, etc. Lots of variety in units and everything has a purpose, even builder units are effective (e.g., American engineers can use flamethrowers which are great against infantry and buildings).

An RTS Classic and for very good reasons, a proper evolution of the formula started in Dawn of War. I'm not one for descriptions but I gotta say the game intuitive learn yet not too hard to master once you get a feel for things. Of course one must bare in mind that this is a rather old game and that...Well, the ideas for how to create difficulty in an RTS of this era is certainly frustrating at times though you can learn some tricks if you figure out the triggers. One of my friends fortified and booby trapped the entirety of a map as the Panzer Elite during their campaign after ascertaining what would cause the mission would continue...And actually carried over to later missions on the same map which is a nice touch. Overall, get this game as a nice piece of RTS History...And it's not too difficult to find a sale if you wish, though $20 or so isn't bad for a game like this given it's age.

I originally played this when I was in high school. Now that I am older although I am a bit better, I just don't have the brain energy to multitask this much. RTS as a genre kinda a died for me. Too much multi tasking. I prefer turn based games now as you can take your time and think it through. The game is great though. One of the best RTS games out there. Aged well. Would recommend even after 20 years.
