Then I discover they got one of the best tank simulators around Steel Armour: Blaze of War, oh my! Then they release Graviteam Tactics: Mius Front! Who the hell are these guys? A small Dev team from Ukraine that releases the best war games I have ever played! These games are not that easy to get in to for a lot of people, because of the realism and learning curve. If you have the patients you will be greatly rewarded with one of the most immersive strategy War games/simulations available.… Expand

   The manual is not very descriptive and the UI counter intuitive but, BUT, if you can get beyond that and put the time in there is no better or deeper WWII RTS out there IMO.
   You will have people who prefer the turn based approach of combat mission but if you like complex gaming and have the time (battles take an hour or three) you will find this game hugely rewarding.… Expand

   This game is a military tactics simulator. The keyword is being "simulator" , therefore it has difficulties with accessibility, gameplayThis game is a military tactics simulator. The keyword is being "simulator" , therefore it has difficulties with accessibility, gameplay issues, as simulation is by default not for casual but for thoughtful and imaginative gamers, who enjoy and can evaluate the simulation process and deepness.
   The game offers both, at an amazing level, leaving ALL ww2 tactical military games far behind.
   You will however will not enjoy the game, if you seek simple entertainment, but for those, interested in tactics etc - this is a true gem.… Expand

   Graviteam Tactics: Mius-Front comes closer than any other game I have yet played to representing the complex situational challenges of theGraviteam Tactics: Mius-Front comes closer than any other game I have yet played to representing the complex situational challenges of the battlefield. It is a superb game, limited only by a weak marketing, that every serious war gamer should definitely have in his or her stable.
   
   Graviteam has clearly been designed by a team with a deep understanding of military tactics and a passion for realism and historical accuracy.
   I can't praise the game highly enough and I can only say to those of you who have not yet purchased it, or who gave up on Graviteam because of its complexity, that you are missing out on the opportunity to experience and contribute to the finest war simulation ever made.… Expand

   The greatest battlefield simulator just got bigger, better, slicker and more user friendly.
   UI, sounds, animations, graphics all improved.The greatest battlefield simulator just got bigger, better, slicker and more user friendly.
   UI, sounds, animations, graphics all improved. Now we can import and export player made missions, soon multiplayer is coming, once that happens it simple dominates the historic RTS genre, nothing can touch it for single player and nothing will touch it for multiplayer.… Expand

   Having spent over 200 hours playing this thing since release I can say two things.
   
   One: you have a brain, enjoy the World War II setting,Having spent over 200 hours playing this thing since release I can say two things.
   
   One: you have a brain, enjoy the World War II setting, and understand basic military tactics, this game is for you.
   
   Two: if you think a playing a game should be mindless, easy, unchallenged, plays like every other brain dead historically inaccurate WWII game; This game is NOT for you.
   
   There is not rock, paper, scissor, mechanic. Mindless RTS blob tactics will most likely leave you without a battalion to fight with before too long. BAD... Alas fratricide of insane commanders is not modeled in game. But realistic ballistics of every single weapon are. Armor of vehicles and gun shield are. The historically based campaigns with the actual units taken from the historical records of both the Red Army and Wehrmacht are there. A large campaign map that is built from satellite elevation data from SPACE, is there. No king tiger tanks, no panzerfausts, no ME262's in the summer 1943 Mius Front of Ukraine in 1943. If you want that stuff, there are plenty of other games that will give that too you. But realism and tactics is not what those are about. Those are games. This is a battalion level simulator that could almost be used to train up officers of an Army. Its not quite there, but it is not that far away. That would be really boring anyways as that would entail 90 percent of the game is devoted to logistics which would be BORING. So that is not there.
   
   What else is there to say? This is an Adults game. Not to say others younger would not enjoy it. But certainly not going to float any boats of those kiddie ww2 RTS players. Not saying those are bad, but its like sim VS game.
   
   As an out to pastor getting crusty soldier, I get a kick out of using tactics I used in the military in Mius Front. And they work like they are suppose too. What more is there to say about that? No, its not perfect, but its closer to any other game of its type to right. Not to say that there are not a hand full of others out there that do not get close. But this one is becoming my go too for a fix.
   
   Last thought for the 3 people that read this. At time of this writing, every review that bothered to post is positive. Like score of 10 positive. Now I gave it a 9. There is always room for improvement. But OH, the trolls of passing out 1 by trolls! What is with that? Did they even play it? Can they even lift? UGH.… Expand

I praise the tactical phase. I would love to see actual AA in this game and perhaps mines too. And for the record ability to counter ground attacks with fighter planes. Operational phase reinforcement meu is a total mess, why would you change design from beautiful and clean one used in Kharkov? Still game is very good, i hope that devs will update that terrible UI in the reinforcements menu, it is way too complicated for what it really does!… Expand
