No Lifer
But not great.
Gameplay is a cross between World In Conflict and Company of Heroes. But in 4 missions nothing has really stood out as particularly exciting or tactical. Your greatest challenge seems to be picking units before the battle that arent totally useless and can kinda sorta balance each other. But even if you make very poor choices, its easy to fix it during the game with quick reinforcements. Some of the missions didnt make sense to me. The game gave me an optional objective to dig up enemy mines. But it had disabled my minesweeper upgrade on the trucks, and the engineers cant do anything until you've officially scanned the mines, even if you already know where they are.
Also discovered that medic stations and mechanic towers are nice, but its better to put the healing and repair upgrades on your vehicles, that way it can go with you anywhere, and not suck up precious supply points too. In fact infantry in general seem a little useless. Capturing buildings doesnt do much for you as they can be blasted quite easily, and the watchtower isnt much better than the radar upgrade on your vehicles.
Fun, but not something I will play over and over again.
Glad I got it dirt cheap.
