I already enjoyed the game as it happened, but holy cow do I like the mechanics now that I've read up on them. I also really like the fact that the game starts out more slowly and becomes more intense the longer it goes on (Helicarrier deployment and scouting/shooting on the map and all). Reminds me of my own games.
Also, the inclusion of ''side'' objectives like protecting/destroying the airfield, locating enemy/friendly units, figuring out how to deal with the Chronosphere, and deploying the Helicarrier made for a fun experience. Allies had a bunch of bad luck though!
I like the balance so far. 10/10, would play again.
