War Commander is more about keeping as many of your soldiers alive as you can and outflanking the enemy. However, whereas in Command and Conquer you could produce new units to replace your fallen ones, any units you lose during a mission in War Commander are gone. It has a top-down semi-isometric (albeit zoomable) viewpoint, similar to C&C and also sports sprite-based characters which is a bit unusual given that a large number of RTS games these days plump for 3D characters. War Commander comes across as some sort of cross between Command and Conquer and Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines. War Commander is a real-time strategy game that puts you in command of a battalion and charges you with guiding them to victory across two campaigns, supposedly based on real WWII campaigns. Mind you, that's coming from someone who's been going absolutely ape in Playstation2's Grand Theft Auto, nicking vehicles and getting up to all sorts of hyper-violent shenanigans, call me a tad hypocritical. But set during World War II, a war with battles resulting in a great number of casualties on both sides, the tagline might seem a little inappropriate.
"Rangers go in first!" - so reads the tagline for CDV's new strategy game, War Commander, presumably trying to invoke a gung ho image of your soldiers storming enemy positions, mowing down soldier after soldier, barely getting scratched in the process and clearing the way for the other soldiers who aren't nearly as hard.
