This is one of the best RTS games I've played in the past year, and its easily taken the top as my favorite RTS in recent years. Picking up where the excellent Wargame: European Escalation left off in terms of mechanics, Wargame: Airland Battle adds aircraft, removes the command star system, and focuses on deck building. The combat is essentially the same deep but brutal combat from European Escalation, and the addition of the 10v10 multiplayer mode brings a new level of mayhem to matches. My only disappointment was the new dynamic campaign system, which while extremely fun, limits the player to the Scandinavian peninsula.

When friends ask me if they should get this game, I generally tell them this: "If you are looking for StarCraft or Command & Conquer, go play Starcraft or Command & Conquer. If you want something that is different and has a different level of realism and depth to the combat, get Wargame."
