Men Of War

[Tezcatlipoca]

Has anyone played this game?

I've been toying around with it the last few weeks, and while it took a while, I do enjoy it now. It's a difficult game (both to get used to and to win), but I believe that's mostly due to the features.

Essentially it's an RTS, set on the Soviet front of WWII. While you are commanding a large number of forces, you have the choice of either simply telling them where to go and what to do, or taking control over an individial unit and micro-managing them. Each unit has an inventory where you can stack weapons and items for use, which is where the micromanagement starts to come in.

The cut-scenes and voice acting are really bad, but the gameplay itself is pretty nifty; not sure if I enjoy the multiplayer yet though...
