Nice picture of the Box art from Ign.
Anyways I've always been an Advance wars fan, and this game is looking to be pretty great. The game has a more realistic war time feel apart from the other games in the series with the cartoon like characters. They have also added some new units and taken away some of the units that were to unrealistic to make the warfare more real to the times this game is related to which is pre world war 2.
StrangerDanger, describes the game with more detail so I edited it in here.
In a nutshell, this game is like Mad Max. There's a sort of apocalypse involving nukes or whathaveyou, and then rogue gangs and scrap armies made of survivors are vying for power in the vaccum while the older man in the picture leads an army that the younger man joins (his name is will iirc), and the girl is someone mysterious, idk.
Apparently, the CO powers are limited as to be balanced in regards to the previous DS title, however as far as i know there's no word on CO abilities, such as +X% on whatever terrain, etc.
Still, a darker take on one of my favorite series to date.
The game comes out in a week or two in the U.S and I plan on buying it, any other fans out there, or newcomers that plan on purchasing this?
