@Td33: actually the german tanks was often reffered to as a rolling fortress. if you think that this image is amazing you should see some pictures of what was salvaged

Forgot to note that aside from that issue- and the lack of a retreat option, which would make things much less aggravating in parts- the game is absolutely outstanding and I gave it 5/5.

The only issue I have with it is that you can't replay missions for more exp. I would've really liked to have been able to afford more than one high-level upgrade, but it was difficult or impossible since I also wanted to make sure that my units didn't suck by getting the low-level ones.

I rate it 3 stars. It was fun at first when it was trench warfare but when it got to the tanks and gas barrages... Errm... My troops ran into all of them... Lack of unit control lost it 2 stars :( Great game none the less.

well what i find annoying about the tanks is that the germans didnt have tanks until well after the allies developed them, the reason tanks cost so much morale is that unlike now they rarely ever were destroyed. it would take extreme force and cost to take down a tank

lanthes i agree moral shouldnt drop if you have totally outnumbered your enemy maybe a little i mean in real war u dont surrender if the searge dies right??

I think the game is really over rated, this game belongs with the 3 star games that nobody has ever heard of :(
3/5 for the effort, you better off playing Mud and Blood

wow, this game is really impressive. Dang. Really brings the content of war to our eyes. (but of course, war is much more graphic)
5/5

i think that you lose a bit to much moral for losing a tank, i was just about to win (i had 70 moral with 5 flanks of guys heading across the feild and 3 at my start point, the enemy had 1 guy and he was about to die) and out of nowhere my tank explodes and it says moral depleted you men have surrendered and i thought that was a bit ridiculous 4/5 because that angered me

@reapaer1: on the other hand, we're looking at entirely different genres. sonny is an rpg, this is some kind of side scrolling rts.

@ Arch Zeratul: it isnt that the AI is dumb but it is realistic, gas attacks were hard to control and often affected both sides, no matter who launched it. Supposedly Adolf Hitler, who served in WWI for the germans, was affected by one of these attacks and it contributed to his insanity

I hope they come out with a second of this. With more troops and more tactics. This game is REALLY good but sometimes they need to have something to know there is mines. I charged alot of my troops once lost because my moral with from full to nothing because mines torn my men to shreds.

I just fill my trench with Lewis Gunners and let the Germans come to me and instantly kill them and lower morale to win.

Oh and pmaster no one enters a war for no reason it was pretty obvious that the french, and the british needed help since they were running out of able young men to fight the war and the germans were redeploying their troops in the eastern front to the west as russia was dealing with the Communist revolution, and so the US decided to help after The Allies have been asking for sometime already.

I don't think the game is deserving of such a high score. There seems to be too many random elements.. in the final mission I almost won at first, then I got a morale loss because their fire support shredded me, next time I got overrun faster than I could build units, and third time I won with no difficulty. Why do troops constantly have to move forward in trenches? How does the bonus exp system work? It looks like the more units I build and lose the more points I get..? wtf.. and the AI is stupid.. gassing their own troops..

The reason there is no american soldiers is that the US entered very late in the war 1917(?) they were only there for about 10 months or so; compared to the british and the germans who have been fighting since 1914.

the only reason this game is winning in ratings is because it hasnt had THREE MILLION ratings like sonny has. this game and any other game will never compare with soinny.
