Like SL and ASL without a thousand rules checks and dice rolls. Best part is it's a solo game, would be nice to have an option to play a human player.

I have just past over 1,000 hours playing this and that in itself speaks of my enjoyment with this great game. This is the game I dreamt of many (+40) years ago as a teenager when I first started playing Squad Leader but could never find like-minded local opponents. That game evolved and morphed into ASL and I lost interest as the rules became too overwhelming. Too much time reading the rule book rather than playing the game so I stuck with basic Squad Leader with the Cross of Iron and Crescendo of Doom expansion gametes. I don't really play computer games, rather preferring to play my collection of consim board games on line via the excellent vassal tool that allows direct play or pbem against opponents around the world. Then I started to see posts by the SF game developer on the Squad Leader facebook page that really caught my interest. Could his game really be a computer version of the game that hooked me all those years ago and started me on my life long interest in consim gaming? Yes it could, and more, so much more. It not only offers the tactical game play of the board game but manages the minutiae of all the rules. If you are familiar with Squad Leader/ASL or any tactical WWII board game you'll slide comfortably into game play like a well fitted glove. The AI opponent is the best I have witnessed in my, admittedly limited experience with PC games, providing a real challenge to my own tactical abilities playing through the many and varied scenarios and campaigns that are provided with the game and via the excellent player community Workshop entries. I've even submitted some of my own scenario designs for others to try and, hopefully, enjoy. The Map & Scenario editor is user friendly and provides a real sandbox for anyone interested in exploring WWII tactical engagements between the protagonists that fought in the West, East, African & Mediterranean Theatres, with literary hundreds of vehicles, weapons and units at your disposal.
I really do recommend this title to anyone remotely interested in exploring WWII at the tactical level.
The best 35 euros I have ever spent.
