it's fun. There's a bit of a learning curve, and you might be better suited starting with the mission generator rather than premade. Mods are good, though there aren't a ton of them.

Writing in the event someone, like myself, is on the fence about purchasing this game and or is not sure where to start with a PC war game. There. Are. Many. MANY. I did a fair amount of due diligence prior to buying one. is the game wego (we go for anyone not familiar)? Is it RTS? Is it a mix? How detailed? How complex? What level of tutorials or reference materials are available to help learn how too play? What is the history of the development team/company and their other titles? Then, ALL the reviews. I have working knowledge of maps and topography. Same with Cold War military history; vehicles; etc. Varying baselines of understanding save aircraft Aircraft ... SME of Cold War aircraft. Not a huge fan of RTS versus turn-based games. I will forgo graphics for depth; strategy and difficulty. I also prefer to learn through an equal balance of immersion and self paced learning. Think watch a tutorial and, then, play. Wash; Rinse. Repeat. If you have a BASIC understanding of maps ... I am talking BASIC understanding of N/S/E/W and elevation .... You have a BASIC understanding of simple commands, which would be common in many games not just a war game ... like Advance .... If you take the time to actually look on Youtube and watch a few videos, as they do exist .... And you do not even have an in depth knowledge of artillery or tanks or munitions or armaments ... No nothing of Cold War history and want to learn ... Never played a game anything like this .... But .... you are intellectually curious and want to start small / slow and learn how a game like this operates and you are curious about the time period and setting ... BUY IT All the reviews around the level of difficulty; the lack of resources to learn how to play; a lack of an intuitive GUI and user experience are incorrect. Tutorials are available on Youtube. There is an instruction book. This game is both RTS; we go and, then, allows a pause function The less vs more on graphics coupled with the slower/controllable pace is what someone new to the genre of game ( war game) is a massive positive Orders and issuing commands and play are very intuitive especially if you have a BAAASSSIIICCC understanding of a map; elevation; high ground; ground cover and line of sight. And you've looked at other titles and are just timid, as they appear (some are) just too much ... Start here. The game, while dated, is an AMAZING starting place. Command: Modern Operations, example, is a by product of a system used to train the military. It has a manual pushing 500 page. There's that. Then, some of the widely regarded gems in this space acctually need you to buy a much early offering of their system, which does have tutorials, to learn how to play their Cold War game. Their Cold War game comes with assumptions you just "get it," Or some of the games are RTS and do not allow a slower pace. Graphics wise and game play are incredible just at a hyper side. Some tutorials and, again, an assumption you have working knowledge of war games and RTS. I found someone with videos that resonated with me. He's dialed in and does a great job with micro learning. The videos are no longer than 10 minutes. Keeps it simple. I read the instruction guide. I popped into my first Scenario. 90 minutes later I had tactical victory. I was able to REALLY slow the game down. If needed, pause it. Read or review. Start again. Some of the reviews are just giving the game a horrific wrap. Games of this nature by design are not simple. If you cannot leverage search functions on Youtube or even within Steam, that's on the individual. This title is a fantastic starting point and I would recommend it despite the age and lack of graphics and this and that and this over contemporaries for a beginner or novice into the Cold War. Game is fantastic. If you're playing a game, like this, you accept it is niche specific and ... God forbid ... you might have to read or learn or become a tad self sufficient learning how to playy.

It plays more like Graviteam Tactics were you issue orders prior to the start of a battle. Decent amount of content to play around with. Campaigns aren't that in depth but still a lot of fun to be had if you want a more modern era of war game. Pretty easy to learn as well. Would recommend some you-tube vids to familiarize yourself with the functions.

Really loving Armor Brigade l. The more I dive into the game the more I want to play. The AI, I feel, is good. Even playing the same Battle Mod, the AI will present new challenges.
