It looks gorgeous, but being an RTS it shall not reside on my computer. I will have to enjoy it vicariously through other Grogs.  O0

What's the general consensus on this. I'm kind of tempted.

I think it's excellent. More manageable than Wargame for me -- I'm finding I mostly play SD44 on "Normal" speed, something I definitely don't do in Wargame. Obviously not a ton of content currently available in the Beta, but what's there is certainly worth playing, and all of it points to a game that, when fully released next month, could be really extraordinary.
Well that sounds promising. I liked the idea of ALB, but the speed was a killer for me.

Same here, but since this game can be returned while it's still a beta version gives people a chance to play it that might be on the fence about it.

While I am no fan of traditional RTS games, I think its very unfair to broad brush games as RTS in a negative connotation just because they don't have artificial turns.  If a game is real-time and has pausable order giving, plus the tools to manage the game in real-time, especially slowing the clock, then I don't see the issue.  If someone will only play wargames games that have set turns, I am not sure they are being very open minded at all.

Watch a battle replay of a skirmish with fog of war off - you'll see the ai place troops, all the starting pieces he uses and then his moves

How do you view a replay of a battle? I've missed that completely.  ???

Do you empty your ammo as quickly and as frequently as Wargame?
Did not see that in the video in previous posts.  In Wargame, I keep worrying about logistics giving commands to supply units.

I feel like my Shermans run out of HE pretty often -- and they carry a pretty good load to begin with. Still, arty is definitely your biggest supply eater, as in Wargame.

I've run out with mortars, 25 lbers, and PIAT teams.  (and Spitfires but they just RTB so it's not an issue.)  I just want to know how those crappy little French tanks keep managing to knock out my Churchills.

Some recon light vehicles have low amount of main gun ammo.
Phase A 12th Panzer Div command tanks
I've had panzerfausts run low.
Some infantry squads MG34 ammo so they can still reach out to 600
