Fun:
I am going to go against the tide a bit, and say that this is a really good little game. I come from a wargaming background (I used to do table top wargaming as a kid) and this is the kind of game that replicates the table top wargame quite well. You set your units out on the terrain before the battle starts, and this has a large effect on the tactics during the battle, and it less of a slugfest than Total War, with units actually behaving more like proper units (you can also give them orders beforehand to outflank and encircle). I also like the neat little touches such as the ability to customise your units with different colours (green for new units, red for the elite units, etc) and probably someone with some actual wargaming experience was involved in programming this game..
I am always looking for good tactical level wargames (I don't particularly like games such as Combat Mission as I prefer Ancient, Medieval or Pre-Modern periods) and it is difficult to find decent PC wargames as most are too strategic and on the grand scale, or simply too complex and difficult to get into. This game is really easy to play, and the tutorial is not overbearing. Within 10 minutes you will be commanding your small army and charging ahead into battle.
Main faults are sometime glitchy graphics (though they are not that bad overall, with some nice colours here and there), and quite small armies at the beginning that are stuck in the campaign mode. You have to build them up and go through every scenario. Some battles are quite short as well.
Still, I am really enjoying this, and at two quid it is well worth having a look at I think - no resource management, no heroes, no tanks - just pure tactics.

not bad, grahics and tactics are limited but its addictive, and relatively long for such a simple game... more factual than i thought.
