I've been playing this game for a couple of days now.I have to say ,after the first half an hour ,I was almost ready to uninstall the thing.
But ,after getting used to the pace of the game ,and generally getting a feel for how it all works ,I've actually started to enjoy it.
There's a lot that could be improved ,and the battles are not in the same league as MTW ,but there are some great ideas ,and a fair amount of strategical thinking is necessary in order to win a game.
If anyone here does decide to give it another go ,then my advice would be to forget about all other strategy games you've played ,don't try and manage every thing at once.Try and get one good army together for all that expansion ,leave a couple of squads for border defense ,and keep an eye on that mini-map.
