In my continuing quest to find the Perfect Wargame, I got this on a steam sale.
I'm starting to like it. Not love it yet, but like it.
It's pretty easy to figure out at first; there is a maddening problem of trying to figure out when to left click vs right click.
Pretty neat interface, lots of units.
The voices from the units are so cheesy it makes me want to turnoff the sound.
But so far, I'm enjoying it.

I cannot play it at real speed, I have to slow things down in order to keep up with things but I like it. I bought a second copy on the recent sales I need to get back into it and learn more.

I love the Combat Mission: Battle for Normandy game but it was just too slow for me but then RTS games of this sort (Wargame series?) are too fast and I often accidentally neglect one side, so being able to adjust the speed of the game time makes Steel Division a good middle ground I love taking out tanks with the AT guns but last time I played, they needed to really fix the tank AI, hope they got that sorted now.

Loved the combat mission series but as you say too slow Are you playing Continuous/Real Time, or turn based? I am not saying I disagree, just curious. The old Close Combat Games, were, for their day, the perfect mix of reality, pace, and scale. Unfortunately, they have never been translated well into the modern gaming era.

Are you playing Continuous/Real Time, or turn based? Turn based for me. For some reason, I never considered the other option, but then squad placement was so important that I needed that extra time to make sure I clicked on the exact spot on the terrain otherwise my guys may not have LOS enough to support the other squad that's advancing.
