Just finished the Soviet campain, I must say it was impressive, very well thought and done- simply loved the ending cinematics with all the guys dancing traditional russian in Berlin, with flashes to the pain they went through until this point.

I think this is the best game I've played since Shogun-Total War and Cossacks- European Wars, that's like 8 years ago or more! My sincere congrats for it!

I only have two observations:

1. As many others mentioned, think it needs a Skirmish mode
2. Regarding units inventory, I think there should be an auto-manage option which enables units to automatically search for at least basic stuff like ammo for their weapons and maybe bandages too. If not, at least to have an icon above their heads with 'NO AMMO' and possibly 'No Bandages' too for the troops that are out of them, that's because in a battle involving many troops, it's almost impossible to check each unit individually if he has ammo, bandages & stuff. SO what I suggest, when not under fire the troops with no ammo should automatically scavage the nearby dead units for it if auto-manage inventory option is on. Other than that, I like the inventory idea which gives a RPG feeling to it, combined with direct control option---lack of auto-manage to it draws it back abit in large scale battles. Just my tought, others may say scavaging for things is part of the game charisma-yes but after a while you don't want to do that any more as you did it too many times and becomes booring.

Sorry if I used the wrong forum for my comment, to fit in, I'll give it a 9.7/10
