Some first impressions

In general positive. I'm satisfied with the graphics. Single player against AI seems to be actually worth playing. It's not super smart but seems better than the awful AIs in CC III and upwards. Vehicle pathfinding much nicer.
Great to see a single soldier rushing out from a house and assaulting a tank with a hand grenade, taking cover during the bang, then running back to the house.
Another nice episode: my two Shermans knocked out a Pz.IV and at the same time in a nearby sector a Panther knocked out my Sherman. After that the Panther rushed quickly along the road to counter my two other Shermans and started firefight with them (the Shermans were saved by a airstrike which disabled Panther's gun).
From a negative side: my infantry team held a house with a victory location nearby. The AI sent several teams (including a halftrack) one after another to capture the VL. All the teams were knocked out one after another. If the AI would have sent two or even more teams simultaneously I doubt my infantry would have survived. A message for developers: if possible please influence the AI to concentrate its forces better when attacking.
