IGN reports: Leading video game developer and publisher, Fireglow Games, announce the list of changes for the Sudden Strike 3: Arms for Victory -Addon.
Sudden Strike 3: Arms for Victory is the latest installment in the award-winning, critically acclaimed and hugely popular Sudden Strike series. It features historically authentic models built to scale, fully interactive giant maps and full 3-D state-of-the-art graphics in the popular Sudden Strike style.

It's fine entertainment for an hour at a time, but there are too many niggling problems to keep playing for long.

Additionally, unit path-finding definitely needs some work as if you do not group..."
I might have to reinstall this one, loved the game.......
