    Superb tactical war-gaming experience that is hampers by a (sometimes) clunky UI. The fully rotatable and scale-able 3D map is a big selling point of the game, but is not the most efficient way to interact with the units. Units are sometimes hard to see/select in the 3D view, as are destination square. The less flashy, top down view is much more useful.

    Secondly minor annoyance is    Superb tactical war-gaming experience that is hampers by a (sometimes) clunky UI.

    Secondly minor annoyance is that it's easier than it should be to inadvertently select an action while trying to select another unit. Again, the top-down view helps solve this.

    Finally, the line-of-sight (LOS) is not always intuitive, not to me anyway. I constantly wish for a LOS tool that will display LOS for any selected square, not just the LOS for a selected unit.

    In all, a highly recommended game with very addictive game play. If this is your genre, BA2 is worth the crazy price tag.    … Expand

    It's really accessible, and that's a good thing, but for strategy veterans it won't go deep enough on the strategic and management aspects.

    While it shares a significant amount of DNA with the first game, the clever maps, huge unit roster, and brilliant skirmish generator make Battle Academy 2 one of the most entertaining tactical-level wargames on the market today. It’s war without the snore. Don’t miss it.

    Underneath the high entry price and the bad graphics, there's a very good and deep strategy game.
