79 / 100"The game's level of challenge often borders on being punishing, but fans of tactical strategy games will find that the effort is worth it."

I spent more time online trying to figure out how to make this game work on Windows 11 than I did playing it. I got the "Program will be Terminated" message my very first time playing. I thought it was a one off so I tried again and it actually worked! I played the tutorial and decided to wait til the next day to start a campaign but I couldn't because I got the same error message again, this time over and over. Turns out this is a known issue as it doesn't seem to work well on modern pc's, the solution they say is in the compatibility settings but I tried and failed to get it to work. The only way I can get it to run now is the "test program" under the "Run program made for previous windows" command. Otherwise it crashes to desktop, although the error message did disappear. Of course this is not ideal so I uninstalled the game. Other than that, it seems like a fun, old fashioned WWII rts
