Overall, I like this game. Fun and challenging. But.
The lack of LAN play is not good. I have read and I understand the reasons why. But it is a signifcant red mark. I dont even think it will stop pirates, so all that was accomplished was irritating paying customers. Come on guys, that needs to be fixed. I want to play over the LAN. It is faster, less prone to technical failure (internet down, server down, phone in use, etc.), and not such a hassle.
A scenario editor would be awesome. Provide that and watch the community grow.
A random scenario generator would be a welcome addition. Now I can fire a quick battle for the plane flight.
Really hard in places. I am stuck in the "Help" scenario. The description is misleading: Medium difficultly and quick time estimate. Well, they got the quick part right, I get my butt handed to me quickly.
I guess the only question is: would I reccomend this to a friend? With reservation is the answer. I worry about replayability (no editor or random scenario/campaign generator ala Steel Panthers or CM) and I worry about the mulitplayer aspects: No LAN play and the WAN play has some shortcomings (come on, let me email my turn to my friend directly).
