Good game, with a lot of room for tactical play, and quite a steep learning curve. Had some problems with the graphics though, so I had to set stuff on DirectX9 and low settings.

PROS:
- Definitely a must-have for armchair generals. Sound tactics will get you far, weak points will be exploited, so you have to have a balanced army in the field.
- Deck system is a very important element in the game. It's also fun to mess with.
- Multiplayer battles with multiple players vs. multiple players could make for interesting battles.
- Lots of units to choose from, although some countries have more variation (and sometimes seemingly useless units).

CONS:
- Problems with graphics forced me to play on medium settings.
- Not a big con, but the game lacks good tutorials. To really learn the game you should just play a lot and look up youtube videos of experienced players.

8/10 zones occupied

I think the only real problem im having is dc issues, but that seems to have either been resolved, or happening less recently...

Ah :) well, I tried medium settings and now it almost doesn't crash anymore. Had one or two crashes while playing it for quite a long time. I think my video card could be better (although a 5850 HD is still not that bad). Let's change the score to 8/10! :)

If the graphics problems included crashing while alt-tabbing, windowed fullscreen fixes that... :P
