I picked this up a couple days ago while it was on sale for $6. Its a small download only 50meg or so & I played it for the 1st time last night. Its actually kinda fun. I would say the gameplay could best be described as a turn based cross between command & conquer & Age of Empires. I have only scratched the surface of it but there is strategy & planning involved but with no where near the depth of say WW1 Centennial edition which IMO is exactly one of its pluses. The game while focusing your attention stays light & fun.

The sale is over now but I would say its probably worth the $10 full price. Check it out or wait for it to go on sale again. Prez day is just around the corner after all :D
