How it feels
A deliberate, historically grounded simulation of mid-20th-century military conflicts, requiring careful planning and strategic thinking.

What players say
Players highlight the DLC's coverage of under-represented conflicts like Israel's wars, including the USS Liberty incident. The 17 scenarios are well-designed and more polished than typical user missions, though the game functions best as an expansion to the base Command title.
