'Theatre of War' PC Game

Mark Hone · 06-02-2008, 08:56 PM

I noticed this on sale in my local games shop for the knockdown price of £14-99. Although it's by the people behind the excellent 'Combat Mission' series some reviews I've read seem to regard it as a complete turkey. Has anyone any comments?

It certainly looks good from its website:

The tenor of the reviews was that it promised a lot more than it actually delivers and was full of bugs. There is certainly a lot of talk of patches on the website. I'd like to hwear from someone who has played it before parting with my money.

There are plenty of copies on eBay for less than £10, Mark.
