How it feels

A cold, tense experience where carefully issuing orders and waiting for asynchronous turns to unfold determines the fluid outcome of tactical Cold War battles.

What players say

Players praise the WEGO system and command delays that reward planning, but warn the game has been abandoned by its developers. Many recommend buying the newer Cold War entry instead. Opinions split on the AI, with some calling it competent and others reporting dumb unit behavior. A vocal minority finds artillery overpowered.
