its a great game, just that it can be random at times, like suddenly u get hit by an artillery shell tt jus happens to land right in the middle of ur trenches... or how ur special-ops ppl always seem to die first. There should be an easier way to get tactical points. It gets nearly impossible later on when your swarmed by flamethrowers and snipers...

this is crap
The soldier targeting AI is retarded;you cant, for instance, order your troops to kill that freaking bazooka, and they waste their killing fleeing enemies.

This game would be a lot better if it was any good.
1. The AI is a joke, despite the experience "it's-a-feature-not-a-bug" non-explanation. Your soldiers are, quite frankly, stupid.
2. The soldiers stats swing way too much to the extremes; I have yet to see a soldier with a weapon skill of over 30 (with some as low as 10!) UNLESS they start with around 70.
2. The game is ridiculously, painfully, stupidly slow. The guys move too slowly, you acquire points too slowly, THE GAME IS TOO SLOW. And saying the game "takes it easy" in the beginning is the same "it's-a-feature-not-a-bug" BS used to hand wave the poor AI.

(Part 2, because it takes two posts to explain just how bad this is.)
3. Related yet again to the AI issue, having such little control over your own guys is frustrating and useless. Either make it fully automated (which wouldn't work due to the horrific AI) or give the player more direct control over the units.
4. This isn't a strategy game- it's an obtuse and boring dice game. Randomly losing soldiers while advancing up the map, random decision making by your "soldiers," random air and artillery strikes killing ~20 points worth of men an upgrades despite all precautions. It's a joke, and a bad one at that.
I'm going to go play a fun game now.

I look forward to checking this game out when it has been reissued, and updated. Thanks for all your hard work on it!

I think the idea behind this and the detail and upgrades available are good - however the execution is terrible, it seems much to slow and there is little to no tutorial or help available. Even if it is meant to be sandbox like, you need to know somethings.
Further more, the lack of a restart button (at least an obvious one) is a real problem.

Wouldn't mind being able to actually select a target and order the medics to heal a specific unit (The AI on that is seriously retarded. Is it programmed to heal the least useful unit, or is that a nasty side-effect?)

I think the game is not finished yet, in the ops they say that ribbons will be added, so the rank system is still not working?

This game officially cheats.
All my men with 50+ rifle got killed first, regardless he's in a trench, bunker, in the open, at front, at the back, alone, or grouped.
The arty changed course in mid flight? 2 bunkers, half a screen apart, 1 got hit by 2 shells, the other by another, all 3 direct hit by 1 volley... WTWTF?

The game concept is good and fun, but the game is still not refined. Smooth out the edges of the game and it could be great. Some suggestions would be to show us our scores, menu bar in game, button to speed up game, more feedback on enemy health, allow traces to see successful hits, etc. etc.

damn, yet even more people moaning about nazis...
If you don't like games where nazis appear, go play something else. Stop MOANING! This is like wolfenstein! And wolfenstein rocks!

And the game's pace is a bit slow at the begining,making it very annoying to wait until the enemy comes.it took about 15-20 minutes to become intense.

does anyone know what the screen in the beginning means?
waffen-ss!?
maybe you should take a look in your historybooks and after that pick another game!

good concept (i love ww2 games) but needs a lot of tweaking. thought it was great at first but became much too random...
