Men of War: Assault Squad

Every so often I try to play a demo from Steam, this can really be any demo that interests me, and this time around I picked Men of War: Assault Squad.

So what makes this game unique from normal WW2 RTS's is that you can control an individual unit and basically increase it's effectiveness by like... a billion percent. It's really fun to do this and I find myself replaying the same mission so many times because each playthrough you can choose a different soldier, and different ones have different kits, like sniper, machine gunner, soldier, medic, etc. The possibilities are endless as it takes skill and cunning to get through most situations.

Although I do have one bone to pick, it always seems like your units are completely stupid compared to the enemies soldier's AI. You think that your guys would be much better on easy mode, but apparently that doesn't seem to be the case.

The terrain usage in Men of War is great, as you can almost always find cover, unless you are in the middle of a field, in that case you can just go prone and order one of your men to build sandbag walls. It can sometimes get a little hard to move to cover on strategic points, as there are move orders and attack orders on the point.
