The catalog in 3D
The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
A tense, large-scale tactical simulation where you command hundreds of Cold War vehicles in realistic, strategic battles.

What players say
Players praise the Cold War setting and the need to manage combined arms carefully, but say the single-player AI cheats and units are frustratingly inaccurate. Multiplayer is dead, and some compare it unfavorably to the later Red Dragon.
