@fragmented_imagination: My only regret is that they scrapped a planned NATO (European) faction early on; it came razor-close to being the RTS cousin of World in Conflict.

I still admire it for its ambition, but I'm not sure I'd call it one of my favourite mods in respect to the base game. CWC plays far more like a Eugen title or Broken Arrow than the 'old-school' RTS it's built on, and the Generals UI really isn't suited to the micromanagement needed to use special abilities effectively. Compare WiC, where the hotkey for launching a TOW missile will cycle through each Bradley individually, with Generals, where that same hotkey will fire every rocket from every selected unit simultaneously. In that sense it's a bit like Red Alert 3 but one slipped finger could literally cost you the firefight.

For someone that thinks slow and tactically and goes to insane lengths to avoid friendly losses, it's a trying experience. :P
