Armored Brigade is a game that makes you feel smart. Beneath the dense web of unit stats and a bevy of modern military hardware lies a title that really makes you feel like god's gift to tactics (at least when your battle plan is going smoothly). A large part of this lies in the game's straightforward and relatively intuitive gameplay, which provides for a level of accessibility not usually seen in games with things like variable wind conditions.
Now, this isn't to say mastering the game is a walk in the park, as it'll take modern war neophytes some time before they come to grips with the title's 500+ units and assortment of European maps to use them on.
And speaking of maps, Armored Brigade is a triumph in this department. When generating a scenario, the player is given the choice of four maps, all save one (the training map) located in Germany or Finland. However, to say there are four maps without qualification would be disingenuous, as each of them is enormous and your playing time will always be spent on a small fraction of each of these vast tracts.
