Sudden Strike 4
Sudden Strike 4 sends you off on three extensive campaigns set amongst the battlefields of World War II. Commanding the Allied, German or Soviet troops, you will lead over 100 different units into battle; like the German bomber Heinkel He111, the Russian T-34 tank, the British Hawker Typhoon fighter plane and the notorious German Panzerkampfwagen VI "Tiger". In a first for the Sudden Strike series, you can now choose from one of nine individual commanders, such as George Patton or Bernard Montgomery, who will each allow for different approaches to combat and boast unique abilities. Prove your strategic expertise in over 20 demanding singleplayer scenarios, the challenge-focused skirmish mode and the ultra-competitive multiplayer mode via Internet. Exploit the weak spots of tanks, set up an ambush, occupy buildings with infantry, outmaneuver the enemy with clever positioning or unleash devastating air strikes – how you approach each mission is up to you!

A mostly fun WW2 tactical game (an RTS it is not). I played only the single player. Worth giving it a shot if you liked Company of Heroes or the previous Sudden Strike games.
Pros:
+ Some tactical thinking required , due to limited unit availability
+ Good vision and damage mechanics (matters which side tank is facing)
+ Storyline is a great touch with mission before/after journal entries and also cinematics
+ Decent graphics
Cons:
- Pretty much only one optimal way to play every mission (to get 3 stars), tends to get grindy
- Not being able to build new units can get annoying really quickly
- Some inbalanced Commanders (e.g. Armored commander seems useless for single player, lacking tank HP replenish).
- No coop

great game, i've replayed numerous time's, great missions, great feel. can't fault it, hope they do a number 5 game, keep it the same, but better details, animations, more ship battles, maybe have both, ship battles whilst your on land fighting

Nice game but I wish you would lower the price for us so I can buy it for my friends. Otherwise, I want to buy the full version with all the stories. I hope the price of the game and new modifications will be reduced

Nice game, a little unbalanced from map to map. Some are realy difficult and others pretty easy. All in all i recommend this if you like rts. A lot like Codename Panzer: Phase 2

A game that is aged but shows its a original RTS game that brought on to the age of new RTS military games. Wish there were newer WWII RTS games other than CoH as they ruined their own franchise. But something like this or similar would be great. Not those big escalation ones like RUSE or others. This is a great balanced game with a ton of expansions and support still. Great game and a classic. Don't play on console its trash. Its meant to be played on a PC
