    Hi guys, does anybody ever played Blitzkrieg 3? If yes, what do you think of this game, his playability? Is it realistic? Can you compare it with Company of Heroes 2 or Wargame Red Dragon?

    Thanks for your help!

    Good questions, it looks like a great game, I haven't gotten around to playing it yet. But I played the first two back in the day and enjoyed them. This looks like a potentially more realistic version of COH2.

    Excellent walkthrough, too.

    I remember playing the first version on my PC a few years ago. I really liked it. But right now, I am wondering if this third version is worth buying because I own Wargame Red Dragon that is already a very good game. It's not about the second world war but very intertaining for hours.

    I like the Wargame series, I just can't handle it. Too fast-paced for me.

    Yes it's true that you have a lot of units to control at the same time. I agree that if we had less, we could spend more time with each of them.

    I played the original Blitzkreig back in the day and was not overly impressed with it.

    Build a mass of units...Send the mass against the enemy...Build another mass of units...Wash...Rinse...Repeat. Not that much different from other titles: Age of Empires, Warcraft, Command & Conquer, StarCraft, Empire Earth, etc.

    Of course, they gameplay could have changed over the years.

    I much preferred the more intimate Close Combat series. Smaller battlefield & limited units equaled a better focus on tactics rather than mass.

    I didn't know this game Takao. It seems very interesting. Do you know if this game can be played on a Mac?

    Loved the Combat Mission series... I loved Normandy 2.0, at some point I'll probably break down and shell out the cash for the update.
