Every command carries weight as you manage weary, untested troops across merciless historical battlefields where one wrong order can spell disaster.

What players say

Players largely praise this as a classic, faithful re-release of a revered 1997 wargame that runs on modern systems, but many note the AI cheats with pinpoint mortar fire on hidden units and snipers miss often.
