I like it a lot.  It has some quirks, but it is so simple to play from a mechanics standpoint that I can't stop playing.  I was VERY down on it before they unlocked all of the battles, but now it is one of my favorite games.  There is a heavy amount of abstraction, but knowing that going in relieves some angst.

It's good. Play's fast, but not click-fest, and can pause and give orders.

It's fun and the AI is challenging.


For me, the lack of meta-campaign limits it life-span, but still good to fire up for my tactical itches.

With over 20 battle for $10, I am not too concerned about life of the game.  When I have sucked all the fun out of it and leave it as an empty husk, I'll move on to another one.

Well all I can say is I only played a campaign once and never came back.  :crazy2:

Yes, there is that too. That said, it has that occasional boot up for CW tactical fix.

Also, there's a semi-meta campaign: the campaign branches depending on your results, much like Panzer General.
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
