I'm not a fan of the generic RTS games because they are very formulaic, by that I mean the mechanics are the same whether you enacting a fantasy, historical or post modern conflict. I have however, found this game to be refreshing in its approach.
Hard? Yes, but it reflects the fact that real war is hard and unfair! For me it is precisely the attempt by the developers to bring a sense of realism into this game which makes it stand head and shoulders above any other game in this genre.
For sure there are bugs and it is damned frustrating when your plan (if you had one), falls apart. The key is to think, the only barriers are the limits of your own imagination in how you use the materials littered around the battlefield.
I've only just played the Sevastopol scenario and I lost; historically that is accurate as the Germans captured the city on July 3rd 1942, but it does not deter me from trying again.
So stop whinging and try harder, think, plan and employ real tactics for a change!!
