Must you play entire Axis or Allied side?

Can you play only Britain, for example, and have the computer play the Americans and the Russians? Or do you take on the entire Axis or Allied side?

I just read this is 2 player only?

Come on now, should be at least 3 player to let the Soviets be handled by a 3rd player.

Guess I'll be staying tactical with CS for now. [:-]

Agreed. Handling the Western Allies in a game like this is enough without having to manage the Eastern front. Woud like to see a future patch make it so that Germany and USSR can both be computer controlled.

I'll buy it if they do. My brother is enjoying the game but it needs to be 3 player.

True that having the USSR a separate player would have been good, just for the sake of replayability. I doubt that such a design would be addressed in a patch...

Should be that way, ala AH's 3rd Reich, but I doubt such an overhaul will come in patch form.

I don't think it would work, having Soviets managed by AI...I mean, if you got your wish, you'd be shouting at the screen because they aren't doing things the way you want them to...I'm not sure any game can have a successful union between AI and human player.

don't want Russia as an AI, I want it as a 3rd human <g>

I broke down and bought it based on my bros props for it and it seems great.
