Did I like it? Not really. Would I reccomend it? Sure. Order of Battle: World War II is a fantastic game, and you should keep in mind that this is more of a demo -- not a f2p game. As the developers have stated, they need a source of income and we should actually be glad that they didn't make the choice to implement microtransactions or some blatant moneygrab just so that you could play some other levels.

Personally, I was expecting something more of a mash-up between Hearts of Iron and Civilization V. I liked the looks of it, and I thought it was an interesting concept and since it was free I gave it a shot. After doing the first level I think that I was expecting something different than the game turned out to be. However, if you are looking for a turn-based strategy game set in World-War II, this might be your cup of tea. I thought this would include things such as research, real production (not to scratch on that but it was pretty much just a buy this troop and place him somewhere system, no real production going on (like in Hearts of Iron, for example.) I also would have reduced unit scaling and made there be some more units but that last bit is much more miniscule.

I look forward to seeing where this game goes and maybe one day I'll give it another shot. Currently, my stance is that I don't like it, but I would reccomend it because some people might enjoy it. It just wasn't for me but it *is* a good game.
