 Warhammer Jan 05, 2000
This is very fun game. I liked it alot. You get to control an whole army with individual regiments. If you are into strategic play this is it. I wish they make more games like this. The story line is interesting, and cinamic plot is real cool.

 Hard core only need apply... May 21, 2001
By Jason J. Riley
This game is a great 'commander' game, ONCE you learn how to handle the interface efficiently. Very challenging to complete all the missions (and thus the game). graphics are not great, but this is about pitting the right units against the enemy at the correct time. each different unit has different strengths and weaknesses. Almost 50% is decided before the sides ever clash...knowing when to attack and when to play defensively is critical. Jay

 Great concept but too hard Sep 16, 2007
By James N. Hood
This game is not for the faint of heart. Its an older game so dont expect superb graphics.. but then again graphics don't make every game.
The concept of this game is great and was done much better in the 'sequel' Warhammer : Dark Omen. In this game you command a mercenary army and control it during battles. Over time more and more 'units' join your army. The problem is affording the upkeep for the army... and you are not supplied sufficient reinforcements for the massive number of casualties you will incur. At first it is of reasonable difficulty but within a dozen battles you are almost at impossible odds.
If you are a hardcore fan of strategy games, try it out, but I highly suggest Dark Omen over this as it maintains a challenge, but not impossibility.

A little off the beaten path Feb 11, 2004
By Jason J. Riley
First, let's get something straight. This game is ALL about strategy, NOT graphics, not shoot'm up, not AD&D. It is about commanding an army of increasing size on the field of battle, of knowing which units to pit against which types of enemy troops, of taking advantage of the terrain and using surprise. To that end, it is a fantastic game, IMO. You will not finish this game in one night, probably not in one month. The scenarios get increasingly difficult. The biggest thing you need to realize about this game is that it is much, MUCH wiser to play defensively and let the enemy come to you. One major caveat is the complexity of the user interface. It will take quite a while to get used to, and even then it isn't ideal. You cannot micromanage the entire battlefield, you need to trust that some of the units can do their job, trust in the battle plan you drew up, and support the other units with a few easy to manage but powerful units. Overall, a fantastic strategy game, only the awkward and complex interface keep it from scoring 5 stars.
THIS GAME ROCKS!! Nov 18, 2011
By Joshua Casey
I DIN'T KNOW WHERE TO START! THIS IS IS LIKE A COMBINATION OF RPG/STRATEGY GAME!! THE SETTINGS/TIMEFRAME & THE CHARACHTER'S CLOTHING/ARMOR REMIND ME OF THE MIDDLE & DARK AGES, WHEN THERE WAS UPHEAVAL & POLITICAL TURMOIL ALL OVER EUROPE! I AM A DIE-HISTORY BUFF, BOTHE ANCIENT, MODERN & MODERN HISTORY. BUT PRIMARILY INTERESTED IN AVIATION HISTORY. THAT OF WWI&WWII. THE STUFF THEY CALL "AIRPLANES" THESE DAYS ARE FLYING COMPUTERS, AND COMPICATE THE PILOTS JOB. PILOTS OF TODAY NEED TO HAVE TECHNOLOGY SKILLS, AND RELY LESS OF PILOTING SKILLS.
