What players say
Players call it a worthy successor to Panzer General and Panzer Corps, praising the huge number of scenarios and mod support. They highlight the complete absence of RNG and note that logistics and production are satisfying. Air war is described as challenging and an often-reported manpower shortage forces difficult trade-offs.
