This is a great game, it combines many elements from other platoon level skirmish games ( like force on force, stargrunt, bolt action , disposable heroes ), but the mechanics are very clean, cleaner IMHO.
Word of caution, infantry units get three actions.. if one of the actions of your infantry unit is not "hide, infiltrate, or take cover" you are most likely doing something wrong and your casualty ration will be high. First time I played the game I didn't pay attention to that, everything died quickly, I said this game is not for me and shelved it. Years later I decided to give it another tried, this time we made sure to be using those actions to the fullest and since then I cannot see myself leaving these rules behind...
They are truly great and if you get WWII and future combat you can do anthing from early XXth century to moderns and sci fi games...
I cannott recommend this game enough.
