Mussolini has mentioned the tournament that has been put together for this game and has given a description of how the game plays. I must say that this game does look quite interesting. The turn based real time aspect sounds a lot less haywire than a FPS or RTS type game. (I do like those game genres but I'm not really good at them).

Additionally it sounds like the game is not dependent on have the latest computer hardware, and there are game modes where MP can be done at someone's leisure.

Could someone tell me the best way to get into this game? It appears that you like the 2nd game of the series which is Barbarosa to Berlin over the 3rd game Africa Korps. I also noticed online that there is a campaign version of Barbarosa to Berlin, which you could have multiple people playing.

Should I buy this in the store? Since it is an older game can I buy this in a store? or is this something that could be purchased and downloaded online? If so would I miss out on any larger maps or anything?

Probably best bet is to get it from eBay. The campaign version hasn't been released yet, much to the chagrin of some of us!

Battlefront.com produces and sells the game. I bought it from there. You can get the DL version + a CD from that website. I recommend the Bundle - CMBB and CMAK.
