Anyone got / played this ?

(Good game though )

It's *bastardingly* hard... I played it for a few hours and then my GAS (Goldfish Attention Span) (tm) got the better of me and I went back to RA2...

'tis a nice looking game though - one for the serious hardcore nutters and WW2 freaks...

How does it play? Is it like close combat (MS game), or AOE / RA2 type of play?

Play is not quite like Close Combat or AOE/AOK's.
It feels more 'arcady'. Deffo not historically accurate, but I don't think its designed to be. Sort of cross between Syndicate and C&C.

It's all about tactics - you can't go wading in with all your tanks/infantry/mechanised units and expect to get by a single defensive position. There are a multitude of unit types, and each has to be used to assault various types of enemy unit - can get bloody hectic, as all this has to be done in a 'synchronised' way.

As grany said - really hard though - took me four hours to to one mission !
