If you want the good parts with less of the bad parts, play Blitzkrieg.
My introduction to RTS
Yes, this. Especially with mods that tailor the gameplay to your tastes.
Blitzkrieg was the one! As soon as I saw the gameplay I knew they’d highjacked it! Burning horizon and rolling thunder for the Rommel and Patton campaigns
That game was my childhood if my name gives any hint.
@@blitzkrieg8776 the German dessert campaign was GOLD
"For a game aiming to recreate WW3, yknow it does really play like WW1"
I think this aged well.
it has
recreate HUH
> infantry die outside trenches
> tanks die to AT weapons
> artillery mulches infantry
> attack is much harder than defense
I mean...accurate?
Yeah, hence why it sucks to play. No one wants to play “get out of the trench and die” simulator.
I mean he has to complain about something.
There's a reply to a comment that addreses this but basically it's "yes that's true but NOT TO THIS DEGREE"
Accurate but not fun.
@@RevanBartus And an FPS where you get shot by someone you can't see within five minutes of deployement, after a month of staying at a camp and doing nothing, and then just ends would also be accurate but also not fun.
Reminds me of Sudden Strike, that was bloody hard too at times too, especially the first one. Playing as the Soviets I went with the historical route of basically artillerying anything that looked like it might provide cover to a boxhead with a faust.
They are using the same sound assets for the guns so that was my first thought as well
That's what the Russians actually did in real life in Ukraine arttilerying anything and everything
Pretty sure it's the exact same, or a slightly later version of the Sudden Strike engine, even the in game UI is basically the same
Try playing Sudden Strike 4 on Xbox it feels weird as hell
@@gtm5336 mate the russians are not shelling every thing indiscriminately despite how the media trys to portray the fighting
Just thought I would mention it Rimmy, there is a full rebalance mod that addresses the majority of issues you had with the game, it makes the infantry more survivable and fixes tanks being paper miche.
id like to see him do the campigns for this game cause the one lore bar he passed by seemed pretty great like wasteland and red alert had a baby storywise.
Yea the rebalance mod is still pretty rough but is at least possible to make a mistake or two
The game requires a partcular style of play which for any faction that isn't the USSR is crawling forward with cannon fodder to spot things for your tanks to shoot at.
I think a good balance wouldn't be to make thing more tanky but just give you tons of stuff to throw at the defense
@@Palora01 Sounds pretty realistic then lmao. As we've all seen recently, tanks without infantry support and recon are basically just mobile coffins.
I actually heard about this game a few months ago. A UA-camr by the name of Warlockracy talked about this and it seemed like one of the weirdest RTS's ever.
One of the plots is literally everyone from the North going down South because of nukes. The story is some weird alternate reality shit
Same. I watched his video a few days ago. His content i great overall.
same
In the sequel (Ice Crusade) they go full Red Alert/Red Dawn and have Georgy Zhukov invade America through an ice bridge connecting Europe to North America. Once you win the campaign and make America collapse he becomes Premier and unites the world.
@@MacNille It's good in its niche, but the occasional breadtubery just gets really eyerolling.
The sequel has the Red Army marching from Egypt over the frozen wasteland (Day After Tomorrow style) of the Northern Hemisphere down to Mexico by crossing a giant ice bridge to invade America. Because reasons? They're also fighting over South Africa? It isn't clear and also people still live in the frozen tundra in like Detroit because America has factories there that make AH-56s and Convair Model 49.
"God I miss tutorial island"
Damn, that's such a deep cut joke that it feels like the joke was written specifically for me. Bravo.
"The Capital of the USA is now New Orleans"
This game was released 2 months before Hurricane Katrina...
Besides, wouldn't it make more sense to make a city like Omaha or Wichita the capital? Somewhere central?
I love these old Russian strategy games. Technically they are not RTS games but RTT (real time tactics). Russia made a lot of classics like these in the early 2000's. Sudden Strike, Blitzkrieg, Cuban Missile Crisis. All very similar but I liked them all, especially Sudden Strike. It can be brutally difficult though.
Rimmy suffering pleases me.
Also, how does Rimmy not have the return dislike extension?
maybe rimmy doesn't know about it?... HEY FOLKS! let's upvote this comment so that rimmy sees it!
I geniunely don't know, i have been using it since it was released, which was, what, on the day UA-cam tried to take Dislike away.
he must know of it!
UA-cam has removed the api, it cannot be displaying the true value, the best it could be doing is a well calibrated guess.
@@CrabBell the plugin admits to as much anymore, apparently a few creators have said that it's a pretty damn good guess tho so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@CrabBell It uses archived data when possible but also adds any dislikes from users who have the extension active while disliking. So yes most dislike values are slightly lower than their true amount.
Right, this thing. It's unlike other RTS- you have to use combined arms and A LOT of micro to literally get anywhere- scout from air/hidden infantry and preventively bonk stuff with artillery. There are patterns in the enemy behavior- after a while you learn to recognize them. You have to guess where the enemy positions are and do something about them. Two words: tedious micro. And chartered accountant-thorough elimination of everything on your advance path. It's an... Acquired taste.
This looks like it's using the same engine as the first blitzkrieg game.
It is, it even reuses some assets
It is
it is and i own them all
i love this game too
B)
I know right?
Blitzkrieg 1 is far more balanced than this; infantry AT weapons that aren't shitty AT Rifles don't shown up till late game but you could abuse the Hell out of the Sniper and artillery.
In all post-Soviet countries the 1963 incident is called "Caribbean Crisis". I dunno why this genuinely surprises you, Rimmy
Hey Rimmy, there's a game that went freeware roughly two decades ago that came out on PS1 and PC in 1998 or so, called Warzone 2100. You might remember it as it's an RTS (albeit a slow starting one) and it's been getting consistent updates, upgrades, mild improvements, better custom maps and a few other neat things.
If you see this and you remember the name, hope it revives some nostalgia for you!
Holy shit you woke up some suppressed memories in me.
@@uignireddngfiurdsgfiurdse Free to play, multiplayer supported, and a caring community to help and support any questions.
Awesome game
Aah, fun game that. Bit weird, but fun
@@NorthernDragon100 NEXUS is impressed. He'll send you a *just reward* later. 😏
I love how Rimmy tortures himself for our pleasure and does so constantly. Oh yeah, and makes good shit, but that's beside the point.
Its kinda cute to see new generation of gamers getting mulched by old games i grow up upon
I loved this RTS back in my younger years, mainly because I had never played the Blitzkreig series and only had the Cuban Missile Crisis demo downloaded from Gamershell.
Infantry and their accompanying APCs were very much just fodder you throw at a position (or scout if you don't actually have that many) to reveal the emplaced weapons to then bombard with Artillery, infact how many infantry and APCs you got in the battle depended on how many tanks and armoured vehicles you had in the army.
I'm not sure if Rimmy knew that you could build additional units and put them on the campaign map to move around and combine together, as well as the ability to denote just how much of his stockpile of Fuel, Ammo and Spare Parts he could bring to a battle, for whatever reason he did not play with the sliders when it came to the pre-battle briefing screen and it showed that he had a lot of it stockpiled that he wasn't bringing to the battle, the actual story mission near the end, expected him to bring his entire game and a built up force of the strongest armour as there is no time limit on the campaign map and you could just keep spending turns while letting the AI throw itself against you in defence missions.
Honestly, this game seems like a fairly accurate representation of how WW3 would have gone. Hence why it's no fun at all.
Yea, turns out if you don't have functioning tanks, what are you gonna do? Not make trenches?
It's blitzkrieg but everyone and their granma has anti tank weapons and automatic rifle hence the extreme lethality of the combat in this game. If you're not familiar with BK (or barely gasp the mechanic of this game like Rimmy did) then you're in a world of pain tryìng to assault a single enemy trench line.
It’s a tragedy that this game had to be made so unbalanced and buggy because it’s one of the only games to portray not only a “realistic” Cold War scenario but also a realistic post apocalypse with a nuclear winter, the world not ending (not fallout) and experimental technology.
@@coatofarms4439 you can turn the jank to your advantage as well, this game is so broken i can think of at least 4 ways to break it. Do you know that china can reinforce troops forever without losing any resource because the nuclear war "only" killed 1 million chinese according to the lore?
@@RedHazeCh I didn't know that, the next time I play it I'll need to try that. Honestly the Chinese campaign was hell to play.
I heard about this game about a year ago…. In a video about the worst RTS ever made.
Warlockocracy?
Same! I'd brought it and can't play it
I heard about this game just now. Apparently it sucks a lot.
@@UnknownPerson-cq3qv yes, great video
the desing aspect is actually beyond its time and it was the most realistic rts ever made
but the crappy old engine makes it unplayable with new gen hardwares
When I first saw the thumbnail and intro I thought that it is the legendary Blitzkrieg, THE game of my childhood.
But then I saw it is a "hot" cold war basically in the engine of Blitzkrieg.
I am confused.
And have an urge to buy this for a dollar some time.
Yea well I heard about this a Long time ago and how its like Blitzkrieg 1 but much more Modern Anti-Tank weapons that make it murderously challenging and how battles are Much larger scale but it's virtually impossible to manage them effectively.
Ah i loved Blitzkrieg, i sucked hard at it though lol.
Pretty sure it's the same engine
Blitzkrieg series, Sudden Strike series and some other games...
Almost every moment where Rimmy was like "Oh, I can *insert game mechanic*?", I was practically screaming "Yes! Have you never played Blitzkrieg!?". XD
Blitzkrieg is a classic for me. I also remember sudden strike, which I liked much less, but was probably the first WWII RTS I played.
3:10 poorly named in english, but such suicide units did exist. 敢死队 (lit. dare to die squads), suicide squads sent into battle with the expectation of death. Notably used against tanks as well, to run up to them and plant explosives or shoving objects into the tracks to otherwise disable the tank.
You mean 敢死隊, not 敢死队
@@senbontorii2680 Doesn't matter too much, you've just had it down in 繁体字 instead of 简体字 which I've opted for.
Google says this was a South Korean thing used AGAINST the Chinese, not by them
Cuban Missile Crisis? More like Cuban Gameplay Crisis
i dont know where i was going with that.
The covid mood is real. Just got back to work after getting a pretty bad round of it.
yeah it's incredibly frustrating to have to play catch up to life again. Especially since I just got finished playing catch up with my last sickness
Feel like it would do better if it had the realistic mechanic of people having eyes
allowing infantry to see past 5 feet and being able to approximate the direction of a shot
That's engine limitation problem, most of the realism mechanics get drastically butchered by the two dimensional Blitzkrieg engine which wasn't really suited for arial combat, advanced infantry, tactical mapping and the likes. After all the game was made in the 90's with 70% of Blitzkrieg's resources.
“I have so many saracens, the IRA are going to be so mad”
I wouldn’t start your car for the next few weeks Rimmy, I’m sure the provos will be back aaaaany day now
It’s okay, Rimmy has a pair of kinky boots, he’ll be fine.
Try Stalingrad PC game from 2005, it was made by the same company. Game is pretty historically acurate about this battle ( even maps are designed by looking at photos from planes). Ballance is better- especially for infantry. Snipers and AT rifles are op. Mg nests, towed AT guns and Arty, soldiers throwing grenades at tanks and into the trenches, you can damage tank tracks, even mortars are avileable. Clasic Blitzkrieg experience. Videoclips with footage from war at start of every chapter and the soundtrack - just AMAIZING :)
I heard about this one; its like Blitzkrieg 1 but with ATGMs and you can't use the Sniper to kill everything squishy.
Cuban Missile Crisis Torture (CMCT) is a self-destructive activity involving Torture of the Male Brain. This may include bad Game Design, awful Graphics, and even Technical Issues.
Graphics look exactly like that WW2 Web Browser RTS you got on youtube ads where everyone uses indirect fire lmao
I beat this and it’s squeal when I was a kid…
@@coatofarms4439 so was eating sand
I think the Balance/Logic is the problem not only Blitzkrieg also Sudden strike i remember like 1 German rifleman with 25 ammo can kill 25 Soviet smg because Rifleman has more range, and yes it takes more than 2 hours to make sure not all your unit die instantly i already play Sudden Strike and is quite Fun i guess.
And more i forgot to say about rifleman it should be chance they Miss shot right,is not like they can head shot them at the time right and smg yeah they have short range and need like 3 shot to kill infantry they also have Grenade but need very close range,also a simple Grenade can damage any tank but not the Heavy one.
Here's your dollar back plus one
hey bro i bought like 15 copies of this game soooo
nice I have finally succeeded over the evil that is the 1C Company
@@RimmyDownunder yes we will defeat them with superior capitalist tactics
@@RimmyDownunder yea I got a heart from rimmy I’ll put it with my real one, I’m now one step closer to becoming an astarte
Oh, this is a Blitzkrieg clone!
I remember sitting on my dad's lap as he was trying to finish the USSR campaign in the hardest difficulty, which prohibits you from saving.
А ещё говорят, что русские мазохисты...
"I'm sure I lost infantry"
Yeah, you ran over some of your own dudes with a tank
Rimmy's been regressing so far
Into old ass games recently we're eventually going to see him play the Army Men 3DO games
God I hope so
As someone who loved that game, yes please.
Shiiiiiiet, thas a deep cut.
Ah, yes, the mutant stepchild of Blitzkrieg, a game I couldn't get into mostly because infantry is like 1 HP blood sausages.
This is fundamental problem with the blitzkrieg game engine.
In blitzkrieg 99% of the infantry has semi-automatic rifles-which in code terms translates to one deadly RNG 'bullet' per infantry unit, being fired every two seconds. Thus allowing somewhat pleasant, deadly, but duable frontline implementation of infantry.
In CMC: The Aftermath quite literally everything has 'fully automatic firearms' (which, I am not kidding, are actually just re-skined Blitzkrieg 1's end game submachine infantry units) which translates to somewhere between 5-10 of the exact same deadly RNG bullets being casted every 0,5 seconds, thus completely ruining almost everything.
But IMO the biggest problem with infantry is the range, Blitzkrieg 1's submachine infantry has despicable almost none existent range as to compensate for their lethality, and that's the also the case with the copy pasted baseline infantry CMC:TA. They get outranged by everything you want to use them against: The enemy infantry is scripted with double range as to make it harder, AT-artilley and AA-guns have 6 times the range of normal infantry AND instant spotting. The submachines of tanks, APC's & light armoured vehicles outrages your RPG guys' range by like 8 times. Hell, infantry is the only thing in this game that has smaller range than it's view radius.
Btw the best use of infantry by far is to use artillery fire with smoke shells to blind the enemy while your regiments entrench themselves in like 2 feet in front of their nose. And also you know, for the love of God change the difficulty to easy as to make this game way less masochistic and your units actually decent.
ah yes! watching rimmy suffer, such a delight
I beat this game and the sequel as a kid, it’s great to not only see Rimmy play this hellish “dark souls” if a strategy game but that he too spends hours on one mission.
"Infantry are not units, they are just guys"
Now there's the Guard's approach, good thinking!
10:50 agrees
Everytime I see Rimmy's wallpaper it reminds me of my old Pravda one from Girls und Panzer, so my brain broke for a minute after hearing katyusha at 2:04
Ahhh, the old "Cuban Missile Crisis", also knowed in Europe as "The Day After". This game is so hard that "Stalingrad" in comparsion is a piece of cake. I loved this game, even with his GREAT downs.
"For a game aiming to recreate World War 3, you know it, uh, it really does play a lot like World War 1".
That was the best sentence I've ever heard in my life.
Here’s to the Rimmy recovery fund.
There are RTS games that are cult classics. That deserved more love than they got at the time. Games like Spellforce, or Lords of Magic.
And then there are games that are forgotten for a reason.
Meh, it was a high curve game in all aspects for sure, but it definitely deserved more justice.
C1 was trying to pull 12d chess on a friggin Tic Tak Toe sheet.
The tedious "do it over until you memorize the enemy placements" is releasing my Mechcommander memories.
Ey yo don't you dare slander an actually good game like that
@@BrotherSurplice ill slander my being shitty at playing it all I want
This is just a "new" version of sudden strike lmao
set in the cold war.
id buy that for a dollar
It is its own series called Blitzkrieg, it was released like two years later from the first sudden strikes and functions a bit different. Fun game it is. As they key to the game think like a russian general; let the arty do the work and mop up the rest up with tanks
This... this is blitzkrieg?
Edit: Also, yeah, very good assessment Rimmy. Great potential, horrible horrible execution
Man, I forgot how beautiful the Blitzkrieg engine was.
I have about 500 hours in both this game and the Ice Crusade sequel, since i played it multiple times during my life.
The story is pretty fun to me but can be easily avoided by those who dont care about it by skipping it to the combat chapter.
The combat can be very atrocious at times and you really need to use binoculars from officers or sniper and then use SPGs like in the early game the ISU or SU series to destroy AT and enemy tanks from long range, whilst isolating and immediately moving your SPG after every shot to counter enemy counter SPG fire.
The game speed can be sped up with + and - if you dont like the slower part or if your wheeled trucks are moving over deep snow, i like it since i like realism.
I dont know this game was almost perfect to me but I can understand why people hate it, but once you learn the mechanics and learn how the AI responds to your actions you basically own every confrontation.
Also the Scenario missions are really fun and unique, my personal biggest problem with this game would be the repetitivness of attack/defend missions and the enemys' ability to constantly shit out new tank platoons and send them after you even after you capture all of their factories/oil depots/part depots.
Still good review thumbs up
You should try Ground Control II or World in Conflict, it's an RTS. But has absolutely no base building instead your units are selected from a tab and delivered to a designated landing zone via air drop or drop ship. You can also make movement formations when going somewhere the main ones are column for urban combat, or line for maximum firepower in wide open area's.
Definitely try Blitzkrieg, literally the same engine just World War II and a LOT easier. Also has a scum tactic or infinite infantry via splitting squads up and leaving behind officers.
I have a confession to make...
I played all 4 campaigns and beat all of them. I was 12 at the time, really liked Blitzkrieg, and i had no sense of quality. But yeah, sometimes it even gets harder than this.
In ch2 of campaigns, you get planes, which makes clearing out hills and trenches slightly easier. Enemy AA will still blast planes out of sky, and better hope that there is no airfield nearby with enemy fighters...
The USSR ch3 has a stealth mission. i wish i was joking.
I love that when you are attacking, enemy gets all the AT and AA cannons, but you get nothing when defending.
Infantry is only useful in defense, and in scenario missions when you are tasked with capturing structures intact (which means no artillery, tanks or bombers, while enemy is dug in and garrisoned).
In Blitzkrieg, you can use trucks to replenish your infantry squads, but here you can only do it with the Chinese (since it's explained that they are the only side not lacking in manpower)
Also, the Anglo-American faction and EU faction are fighting each other in later chapters, because the need for resources is that bad? Even though NATO was a thing and they are technically on the same side? i don't get it
Finally, when you are transporting infantry with transport helicopters, if the helicopter runs out of fuel and needs to go back to base, it will not land, it will drop infantry with parachutes. How would that work without destroying the parachutes, idk
There is also a sequel of sorts to this game. It's more of the same. Don't play it.
2:02 Damn now I gotta go rewatch Girls Und Panzer
I'm saving the season with the aussies for a rainy day.
10:50 had me in stitches - Recognizing the Lehman Russ, I know less than nothing about real world tanks, so recognizing it floored me.
Oh Rimmy. You starting to like the game in the Tutorial only for the actually game design to snap you back to reality just makes it more heartbreaking. It's sad to see that there just isn't much in the way of GOOD RTS's these days. Sure there's some indie project or ambitious idea from a decent niche or less well-known developer but...most of the time they just don't get it. I'm so sorry Rimmy, my boy.
"What the fuck am I meant to do, honestly!?"
is the reaction I've seen most people have to this game. Definitely feels like one of those games developed by people who know it in and out and lacked the perspective to tell how difficult it was. That good old insular development difficulty.
10.51: those are without doubt leman rus battletanks and imperial guardsmen. They're about 38,000 years too early for this timeline.
"We have three, and they have like.. twenty"
To be fair they look like t-34s. Industrial warfare bb!
I want to see Rimmy playing a city builder game like the Anno series…just to see what kind of chaos he would cause
On the off chance you might play this again, don't use autoresolve.
You could beat the enemy back five times in a row with no losses but the ai will either lose or win with 50% casualties.
Fun fact, to attack positions, tactical mathematics describe for an attack in the woods, 3:1
Entrenched position 5:1 and urban warfare 12:1 so ...
"I found the Ouighers"
Your social credit has decreased tenfold Rimmy
"Wah, This game is hard. Wah, my infantry keep dying from bullets. Wah, I have to save scum to win, wah wah wah" You forgot your pacifier Rimmy
Mfw realism ≠ fun
Alone against the World mission in Sudden Strike 2: "Finally, a worthy opponent, our battle will be legendary."
sudden strike is way more harder than this
because if you are patient , in cmc you can just do nothing other than producing more and more vehicles and sendin em to your bases
then you can wait for the ai to attack and lost its everything
and then you can make your move with crap lot of stuff and resources
@@wolfgang6157 Sudden Strike 4 gently places you in the middle part of the pool
Sudden Strike 3 throws you into the deep end

I enjoy RTS games like you. And am happy to hear you beat COVID. These videos are always fun.
"If feels like you are meant to bait them into attacking you, massacre them on the defense, and than counter attack when they have nothing."
Theres a good reason why Sun Tzu always warned against attacking fortifications. XD
I actually love the RTS games on this engine. Theyre so cool.
The pain you suffered is relatable to my suffering in gates of hell on the Russian leningraf infiltration mission. Took 4 hours
Use suppression > put infantry in rush formation > support their advance with tanks rear of the infantry. Rinse, lather, repeat. Supply trucks replenish slain infantry units
"Infantry doesn't count as losses" Ah russian military theory I see
more like japanese
This is VERY Blitzkrieg 1 stlye of UI and graphics and It brings me great nostalgia
Same engine
Yeah I was so confused when I saw this. Rimmy playing Blitzkrieg? I want to see that.
glad to hear you've recovered bud!
dang i had no idea they kept making sudden strike! thanks for letting me know this!
Isnt this the blitzkrieg anthology system? I honestly don't know which game came first but i don't remember the game being quite so lethal
It's not blitzkrieg i thought exactly like it you too but it's another game that some assets from blitzkrieg like (literally the sound effect are the same like tank shooting it's turret , the soldier dying sound ) the minimap is also the same type , though i prefer blitzkrieg For it's soundtrack , holy moly just listening to it makes me feel nostalgic

That's what the Cuban Missile Crisis is called in Russia.
16:20 this game is so cool, look at those shell marks. I love games that do stuff like that.
Growing up, I always was under impression those games are some kind of Sudden Strike mods sold for actual money.
I vaguely remember seeing the Allied Power Realism mod for the first Sudden Strike being sold as a boxed copy in a store.
If your looking for rts games to play Id recommend sudden strike 4 I dont know how popular it was but I got a lot of enjoyment out of it and it even has a winter war dlc
Man, this looks like a re-skin of the old Sudden Strike games. Though I don't remember if the 3D vehicles were a thing in that. Must be an upgraded engine.
Nah it's basically 1:1 with sudden strike
Loved to play these games as a kid, never knew that they were hard.
Main tactics and strategy revolves around your armored vehicles, they're the only units that gain veterancy. The only things that counter it are antitank guns and tanks, in which you will need infantry binoculars to scout them as well as cannon fodder(they're relatively resistant when crawling). APCs are also useful at countering infantry swarm and rushing AT places. Sometimes you can just do an indirect fire on them because they are predictably behind trenches, above cliffs and base entrances/edges.
Supply management is also important but sometimes you can get off with just 10% of your total supplies for the mission. You lose them even when you don't use all of your allocated supplies at the start of the mission. You didn't figure the sliders out but you're effectively using 30% each of your supply type and end up not using them.
I LOVED this game back then, Artellery is king in this game, just send an officer with binoculars and scout ahead and demolish everything with arty
Oh look, a weird mod for Blitzkrieg game, interesting :D
This set in ww1 would of made a good game, just add some way to "buy" more units, the lethality would lend itself better to a ww1 setting. If you would keep the older simpler graphics you could have MASS infantry charges would be wild. Interesting none the less.
There actually is a ww1 game in the blitzkrieg engine. It's just called world War 1 made by 1c company
Eeeey! You healed from Covid! Congratulations!
Love your content Rimmy!
Good to have you back and well
Hopefully this games doesnt give you another disease
This is painful. I was watching it trying to problem solve - "Can you throw up smoke to cover your movements? No? Can you advance through the woods to obscure line of sight or make incoming fire less effective? No??? Enemies firing heavy weapons don't even reveal their location?" How the fuck are you suppose to play this? Where does the strategy come in?

I loved blitzkrieg back in the day!
So many units with so many options with so many tactics. Haha
This is like a stand-alone "Cold-War-turning-hot" DLC for Blitzkrieg, the game that hooked my childhood to WW2 stuff. I actually played this about 11 years ago and got quite deep into the US-British Alliance missions. Eventually gave up because I couldn't figure out how to upgrade my army and got tired of having to fend off IS-3s with Centurions...
This is like the RTS version of War Thunder......One-shot kills that depend on RNGs, having a sneak peek onto the high ground once you're far away enough, etc., all of it.
