Yep, it's a long title but has anyone played this much? I picked it up on the Steam sale last week and it is completely badass. The controls are fiddly at first, but once you start learning the hotkeys and how unit selection works and how to go in/out of Direct Control mode, it's like having the ultimate Army Man toybox - with realistic WW2 weaponry!

It's similar... but no base management and you control individual soldiers. It's cool because you can select a soldier and go into Direct Control mode and look down your gunsights/scope/etc to shoot, then zoom back out to control the bigger picture.

Lots of micromanagement, but it's an amazing wargame IMO!

Hrm, I didn't get that impression from the steam trailer. Sounds like Muzzle Velocity I used to play as a kid. I'm kinda interested now.
