| | Professional Reviews | GameZone 9 of 10
Little details such as soldier morale and having (sometimes inept) message couriers make this truly realistic. Things can be going along fine during a battle, and suddenly one of your flanks takes a barrage of hits with no support. You have to forget the spoiled past of gaming when things went predictably the way they were laid out for you. In this sim, things can go seriously wrong with no warning, or a surge of positive support may emerge just when all hope is lost. It is a moving, changing environment - the way it should be...if you are a history buff who likes their gaming to be real and historically accurate (with all its faults and limitations), you should embrace this game whole-heartedly.
