You can really tell how much love has gone into this game. It is truely exceptional and deeply engrossing. You spend hours and hours on this game as you build up your game company to great heights. A must buy. The only negative point I can think of is that there isn't a great deal behind the game mechanics and once you've reached the end once or twice it has only a certain amount of replayabillity.

It does have flaws, for example the economy is badly represented, spying is poorly done, there can be little point not playing a major and the cold war isn't well simulated but this is THE defining world war 2 strategy game. A must buy for any armchair general.
