My Review
As a retarded WWII Nerd i love this game, while i feel as an official update outside of mods could be used to add some features for replay-ability. such as an overhaul of conquest as it quickly gets stale after the 5th day of combat. but this game is genuinely so good while there are some things that could be changed (mainly weapon damage differentials) but besides that it is a gold standard of the world war two realistic RTS, after playing the original call to arms and being heavily disappointed, (hoping for basically MOWas2 in modern times) but this game took its roots as a MOWas2 Mod to make a better version of that game. RTS games are best when you aren't given a huge army. when given a small amount of squads you really get more cautious and careful while playing. its an A tier game. while i feel the Finland expansion is a little overpriced. being re-skinned soviets but worse. it still shows massive promise.

Seeing the complaints of others such as;

-Bad Path-finding, i usually just move a Unit to an area where it can easily take my preferred path.

among other complaints about the AI I don't quite understand it. it is a direct update of the dated MOWas2. the AI int groundbreaking but it is Fine enough to not break my immersion. maybe i just play different then everyone else, (killzones. lost of killzones.)

In conclusion I am extremely excited for further updates. 9.3/10.

I'm waiting for discounts on the DLC to buy them.

I thought the Finland DLC was overpriced as well.. at first. If I had only stuck to conquest-mode like I had been doing, then perhaps I would still feel that way.

However, in single-player skirmish and ESPECIALLY the single-player campaign, I do feel as though I got my money's worth.
The Finland campaign is by far the most interesting, unique and for me enjoyable of all the campaigns. It helps that you get to play as a 'good' nation for once, and their ragtag underdog style lent itself to some excellent immersion.

edit: by 'good' I mean that Finland's record in the Second World War is arguably one of - if not THE - cleanest of all the belligerents, including all of the Western Allies. Tad ironic its an Axis nation.
I am not passing judgment on any nations entire population or anything before or after the conflict, merely the conduct of their govt/armed forces at the time.

Why do you announce yourself as mentally deficient before expecting me to read paragraphs? All to arrive to a "9.3" which is somehow as contrived as it is arbitrary.
