An enemy might sneak past you and snipe the crew of one of your AT guns and then use it to fire at the more vulnerable rear of your truck. So you can load crews onto a halftrack and have them man the mounted guns on the top and mow down enemy infantry traveling on a nearby road. The units here are modeled, if not entirely accurately, then at least appropriately for their interaction on the battlefield. The+units+are+usually+good+at+taking+care+of+things+but+there's+a+lot+of+micromanagement+here. Instead you'll need to make sure that you're using the terrain, the fields of view and your position to make the most of your advantages while minimizing the strengths of the enemy. As in real war, the challenge here isn't to match each unit with its appropriate counter. There are no barracks to build new units here and, though there are plenty of missions that allow for reinforcements, they're either limited in number or inconsistent in their arrivals.

While this is a game that has plenty of white-knuckle tactical excitement, it's also a game that rewards patience, geometric thinking, and economy of force. That being said, Men of War isn't for everyone. Still, if you can find a reliable friend who isn't going to drop out over the course of an hour-long mission, you can have a blast playing co-op missions. Unfortunately, the lack of AI bots tends to hamper the appeal of the skirmish mode somewhat. Outside of the main campaigns, the game offers loads of multiplayer options and, since the game has been out for a few months outside of the US, you can definitely find opponents online. The sudden appearance of an awkwardly voiced cutscene is really your only clue that things are moving along.

The lack of clear objectives and reliable triggers makes it difficult to tell if you're experiencing a lull in the action, or if you're just missing what you need to move the encounter along. Whether you're trying to hold back an Allied advance in a narrow desert pass or sneaking into an enemy installation, you'll always find yourself outclassed and outgunned by the enemy. Part of it is that the game always places the player on the weaker side of a fight. I'm confident enough in my RTS bona fides that I don't have any shame in saying that. It's rare that this happens, but I had to play through this game on Easy because the Medium setting was simply too brutal. As fun as the missions are, most gamers are simply going to find them too difficult. The+level+of+destruction+here+is+just+awesome. This kind of progression helps to divide the larger missions into digestible chunks. You may find yourself playing simply to establish a beachhead and then open up new bits of the map to stop an enemy convoy or assault an airfield. In some cases, the maps even expand during the course of play as you reach each new objective. The settings are pleasantly varied and each map is large enough for real tactical maneuvering. These range from massive 'hold the line' missions where you fight back wave after wave of advancing enemies to more cautious Commandos-style infiltration missions. The two-dozen missions play out in three campaigns, one each for the Russians, Germans and US. Now Best Way is back with their third attempt, Men of War, which, in spite of a few lingering problems, is one of the most enjoyable and challenging tactical games we've played in a long time. Unfortunately, the Faces of War sequel was less enjoyable and tended to emphasize the things that didn't quite work the first time around. It was equal parts Sudden Strike, Commandos, Contra and thrown together with a healthy dose of realistic tactics and completely destructible environments. One of the more memorable titles in recent memory is Best Way's Soldiers: Heroes of World War 2.
