    Sure, the emphasis on tactics and cover etc make it slower than today's bells-and-whistles RTSs, but the time you get to think makes it one of the cleverest. Some games just don't seem to get tired with age. Chess and Close Combat are among them. [June 2007, p.79]

    Getting multiplayer to work is the most difficult & frustrating experience your ever likely to have to endure on a PC. A very very poor show indeed.
