I learned about this game over at http://kriegsimulation.blogspot.com/ (Real and Simulated Wars) an excellent gamer blog about different military type games. Theirs a excellent AAR posted there, I then went and checked out the game... I liked what I saw and got me a copy...

http://www.matrixgames.com/products/387/details/Battlefield.Academy

Stay tuned for my own opinion and screens... a turned based WW2 game.

I didnt buyed it until now because the hight VAT you have to pay ordering from matrix (and the comic style)
Buyed it now direct http://www.slitherine.com/games/bbc_ba_pc via paypal.

And its great! Its like SteelPantherLite in 3d, not so huge and complex as SP but the game mechanics and the battle dynamics are the same. and if you zoom out its not too comic anymore wink

Here a nice user made vid:
