Overall it's a decent RTS. Nothing really new, but it leaves a lot of things open for strategy. For instance, you can garrison buildings, as well as put units on the roofs of buildings. Just playing around one night, I tried to move a mortar squad to the top of a building, but they couldn't move there like the normal infantry. So, for shits and giggles, I loaded the mortar squad and 2 snipers into a blackhawk and air assaulted them onto the top of the building. It's those little things like that that I find out just by playing around, to see if it's possible, and finding out it is, that make the game fun for me.
