The game isn't well developed. The rules of the campaign map are barely explained, and for some reason your units can't travel to other zones, even though the enemy units can. The battles are also broken by inconsistent campaign rules. The inability to dismount and deploy infantry and HQ units before the battle is utterly bizarre. You can't prep a defensive position, you have to dismount and rapidly click around to set up the perimeter that your forces should have started in. And rather than starting with a large force deployed, you often only have access to a paltry few units, with the remainder trickling in as reinforcements. It's crazy to think that you're launching a large attack wave with only a half-dozen tanks.

My biggest complaint, is that this game tries to put on airs of realism, but the level of micro-management required is truly infuriating. Helicopters will run out of ammunition, and then just hover there as easy targets. There's no command for them to refuel and rearm, you have to click them back to a supply base, and then once they're there, you tell them to land. If your helicopter is off the supply zone by a hair, you have to move it and re-land it. Infantry will stand in the middle of an urban zone, but won't take cover unless you specifically right click on the zone. You can call in fighter planes, which will endlessly circle, but unless an enemy flights right on top of them, they often won't attack.

The touted naval combats, are a truly miserable experience, and the worst part of the game. There isn't any strategy, because the ships are so slow, range tends to be the defining characteristic. Realistic perhaps, but far from enjoyable.
