Game-Debate writes 'I have to admit to being a dyed-in-the-wool "Close Combat" fan, and that is the yardstick against which I measure all WWII RTS combat sims.'
Alltern8 writes: "Medal of Honour may not have been the first World War II game, but since that title debuted for the original PlayStation in 1999 there's been a steady market for historical wargames that, if sales of Call of Duty 4 and Company of Heroes are anything to go by, isn't about to die face down in the mud anytime soon. In this last decade developers have tried everything to innovate the setting, from including prototype aircraft to bringing zombies, werewolves and vampires onto the field – but there's no escaping the fact that the WWII well has long run dry. It's a disheartening experience, hopping from one World War II game to the next and re-enacting the same few dozen battles no matter which game you play."
Trevor reviews the large scale World War II RTS for the PC. And despite the small scale launch that appears to be hampering the game online, offline it appears to be rather good.
AATG writes: "I have to admit I do have a bit of a soft spot for RTS games which has existed ever since I discovered both Red Alert 2 and Starcraft at around the same time many years ago. At the time, commanding armies in large scale battles was so exciting, and while I've never been particularly brilliant at this genre, I'll quite happily sit and spend hours trying to lead my men to victory. One thing I've learnt while playing these games is while games may only sometimes last 20 minutes, you often need patience for your plans to pay off."
