How it feels

A slow, methodical turn-based wargame where every unit's condition and placement matters in deliberate tactical battles.

What players say

Players praise the game for covering a neglected historical period with competent AI and deeper tactics than typical RTS games. However, some find the combat outcomes too random and the graphics and user interface dated, while others enjoy the wealth of scenarios and mods.
