(More customer reviews)Bought Order of War about a week ago and spent something like 25-30 hours playing it. Being a fan of WWII RTS games for years (CoH, WiC, MoW) I got interested by the opportunity to play WiC-like battles but on larger scale and with nicer graphics - and actually haven't been disappointed yet. OoW plays like a decent and well-balanced strategy game with cool visuals and quick-paced gameplay. There is no resource-gathering and base-building. You are focused on issuing orders, maneuvering on the battlefield and supplying yr army with new replacements. It's no way clickfest - you can use active pause to stop the action, that's what I actually do when I play skirmishes (wish I had this option in MP'). In some scenarios you start with a small group of troops having something like 2-3 squads of infantry and several tank detachments at command and then gradually build up a bigger army controlling hundreds of units on the battlefield. Some missions (like Will to Win (playing for Wermacht)) are extremely massive, I spent about 3 hours trying to fight off the enemy attack and capture all the flags. The Game has a WiC-like control point system - you capture CPs, get money and bring new troops in action. AI is good, it responds to all your moves and maneuvers (on Hard regularly uses air strikes and is good at setting up defense lines). Though, I once made it do some silly things by launching two simultaneous flanking attacks in one of the missions. Cinematic camera is freaking cool- you set up an offensive, lean back and enjoy the movie-like action getting into the battle from time to time to make changes. Even playing online I sometimes switch to this mode to watch my birdies crash enemy positions. Awesome.
My Verdict: while adding not so many new ideas to the RTS genre Order of War is definitely worth trying.

Story In the summer of 1944, the Second World War entered its end-game when the Allies launched two major operations that would drive back German forces on both the Western and Eastern Fronts at once. In the ultimate test of military strategy, Order of War will challenge you not only to lead America's finest to victory in the West, but also place you in command of German forces charged with repelling the Red Army's seemingly unstoppable offensive in the East.
