Default Faces of war

Has anybody played this? It is sorta like the game soldiers, heroes of ww2, but concentrates on squads instead of individule soldiers. This makes it almost rediculusly full of micromanagement. On the plus side, you choose which tank MG to use, and there is one really good map-Walcheren. What I really hate is that there are 2 tutorials (one after the other) on each campaign (Allies, Germany and Russia), and you HAVE to do them both. The accents are the same, and is terribly historicly innacurate (It was the Brits and Canadians who assualted Walchern, I think), even the front of the box has 2 Russian Soldiers with M1 garands. Other than that It is good

PS. I lent this game to a friend once, and his brother was almost upset when i wanted it back!

Oh, one more thing. The explosions are AWSOME! If an AP shell hits a tank, there is a few seconds before a spectacular explosion-and when an AT gun is fired, the crew throw the shells onto the floor!
