As I said in the review, the only real downer for me are timed phases but I get why they did it, turning the objectives and also piling on the pressure so the player has to act. I don't know why they limited skirmish games to max of 40mins though, that makes no sense to me.

Mack, you should do Graviteam Tactic’s: Mius Front. Sometime in the future, probably one of the best in-depth WW2/60s war simulators of all time. It does have a crappy UI but the amount of detail that’s put in the game is insane, from the armour penetration to the morale of your troops. Your infantry communicates by word of mouth without a radioman, also radiomans and mortar artillery have to have wires set down to call in artillery, it’s very complex and extremely well-done. They also have DLC that expands into other wars, like Angola and Afghanistan in Operation Star.

Looks awesome! Small point about mobile or mechanized infantry, in the real world you never want to stray too far from your vehicle anyway (that's where a good portion of your firepower, your supplies, and your means of evac are), so I think the way it's depicted in Regiments not only cuts down on micro, but also adheres fairly well to real world doctrine.

When you said the AI doesn't cheat it reminded me of how in hardest difficulty of Warcraft 3 the AI would make 20 gold & wood per harvester as opposed to the normal 10. Once i gained more knowledge in W3 tactics I learned that letting the computer cheat was necessary because as savvy as the AI is it still can't counter certain "rush" hit & run strategies and traps so it needed the head start to be a good challenge to a good player.

It's so simple, that's what I love about it, but I'd like to control more units and I wish the cover mechanics looked better, but it plays at the heart of what it would be like commanding a battlegroup in a German 1989 cold war goes hot scenario

Still prefer the original Close Combat series from the 90s. You control the squads as per this game, but for tanks and larger assets you control them directly. Having a tank or similar was a big deal and you didn't always get them. So perhaps it's 1 level lower than this. Company of Heroes just didn't appeal to me at all, it was too frantic and while at the same time needing to micromanage everything. It was more of a game for gamers than it was a simulation. Regiments looks ok... But I'm going to have to see more videos before I pull the trigger on buying it.
