I have this game and would say it is more a cross between commando's and Jagged Alliance. Because you are so relianton the few men in your command and each is required to have certain skills it has a roleplaying feel to it as well.
It has a very original story about going back in time, and if I was a game programmer i'd steal the idea and have a game about people going back in time to mine all the oil and transport it to a part of the world that in the future would be under the command of the country that sent the troops. this would be the basis of the fight, but being based on oil and given the situation in the world, I thing you'd get a lot more publicity!
I would rate this game at least 80%, if not 85%. t is hard like commando's was hard. Only because you cannot just build a barracks and get more men as in a standard rts. You get the men you're given and you have to use/protect them them the best you can.
The AI is also a mean son of a .... too, which is also brilliant!
