Doesn't really feel like the hurly-burly of combat. It feels more like a modern commander allocating resources to fire teams or something similar.<br /><br />To that extent I think that it simply doesn't have the flavour and there's nothing you can do to fix that. On the other hand it doesn't mean it isn't a clever and enjoyable game.<br /><br />Hopefully that makes sense.Trebianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02221916804339000102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615782020735321095.post-58969709240059528992015-12-29T19:04:10.073+00:002015-12-29T19:04:10.073+00:00Anything in particular that didn't give the fe...Anything in particular that didn't give the feel you were looking for?
