Ok first thoughts - I like it.

After playing about ten missions (ish) ie I now have a squad of three men (Was four but one died) and a Tank.

Each mission seems to be very similar to the last, and I hate the shooting controls, I also agree you cant hit anything at a distance. I also find it is hard to shoot anything up close. Middle distance is ok it is fairly easy to kill the enemy

Thanks for the info about republic commando, almost got it on sunday, wish I had now.
