finished my first mission, you have about 50 Airborne an you have to kick out some germans from a small town,
unlike Coh or other RTS the guns have real range, an MG42 will open fire at 2000meters. it's not perfect, the animations are a bit stiff, and the Garand is for some reason boltaction, it seems like they use the same animation for all the rifles. there is no magic black cloud that obcures the view, you see the terrain, always but not the enemy unless you have line of sight. another problem is that the airborne had ALOT of BARs when they should have had .30cals

played some more and it's very cool.
one mission you have a task of taking a hill with some germans on it, you have 5 squads of airborne and 2 stuarts.
first everything goes they way it should, I meet some german infantry that I take out with minimal casualties,, but then they stars sending Panzer IVs at me, my stuarts get blown up right away, and I expect to be run over by the tanks. but I decide to give it my best, and possison my bazookas ready to try and take them out, but before I get the far, the german tanks start to blow up by them self. I'm thinking what the hell(I used a stronger word then that) is this a bug. but then I see 5 Shermans that had come as renforcements, and given the true range of the guns, they had taken out the german tanks from the edge of the map. the cool thing is that the tanks don't blow up in huge fireballs, but in a much more realistic way, often they just stop with a hole on the side, or the tracks get destoryed, and the turret can move independenly, so you might get sevral tanks that can't move but still fire. and the wrecks and dead bodies stay on the map the enire game, which means the field will get cloged up with stuff. some time that crew of the tanks survie and runs out of the tanks. AT guns and tanks can also be orderd to aim for the turret or other weak spots.

I just captured st. Lo, one hell of a fight, they had 3 hills coverd with AT guns, and a AA gun to protect them from air attacks.
I had to pry them off the hills with tanks, mortar and artilleri. they also sent tanks on me, I had to capture the hills, two villages before I could move on st. lo. it was a hard fight, after my tanks took out the guns on the hill I sent my infantry up to suport them in taking the villages. after that it was on to st. lo, we had taken out most of the enemy in the eria, so the last fight was a walk over, a few AT guns, that was easy to out flank with infantry and use grenades to take them out.

I have AMD 64 3800, ATi 1800XT 512, and 2 gigs of ram,
I play on max on everythnig, but I only get like 12 FPS, but it's still very smooth. the graphics on the armor is great, cool to se a german on a MG42 on a Halftrack and the half track gets hit with a AT gun, and you see the soldier running out of the haltrack and leaving the doop on the back open
