25 gb demo? My God, Im getting old.

Is it Real time?

If so, It is very risky... That´s not the pace of a Civil War Battle...

Close combat is bird´s eye, and combat mission is wego. All is manageable enough.

Yes, and no. Before the battle you work from a battle map which is turn based. Once the battle begins it's realtime warfare (from what I can gather any way). It's a very nice game.

The demo isn't 25 gig, all the demo's I have downloaded, and tested have added up to around 25 gig. I have been playing demo's since I got the temp high speed so I can start making my list of games to buy when my speed gets throttled down to internet basic...

I have much work to do until that time...
