    The only game, where the gamers have balanced weapons and equipment.

    Pro: Well balanced units, No major hang ups with interface. Con: Brain damaged AI and pathing. Archaic game engine (Its a square grid!)

    It ain't particularly novel and it ain't particularly easy, but it is engrossing and refreshingly reliant on strategic thinking to see you through.

    Good game, but a copy of the game for each PC is a bit much If you want to play on a home network.
