"I finally got my copy at the end of January 2025!!! I have played (or continue to play) nearly every squad-level, tactical, WW2 system out there. This is now my favorite (by a nose). I give it a slight edge over OST due to its streamlined and fun combat system. I will be writing up a full review in the near future."
