I just found the Company of Heroes (that was came with a Garphics Card last year, remaining stashed between other games. I have a DirectX patch 10 disc as well, apparently.

I remember that I had thought it was a MMOG and left it there. Now I've heard that it has single player ability as well. So, I'm thinking to install it.

Is it really good, I know you say good, but is it sort of a strategy game that you play 2D (or even its 3D) with less action, and morelike playing chess. You know what I mean. Or is it something like Ghost Recon (or GRAW) ?

edit:

It's not Opposing Fronts. Just simply: Company of Heroes.

Its an RTS in the style of Command & Conquer, but...

- Less emphasis on base building
- Smaller squads, more tactics needed than just tank rushes
- Awesome graphics on DX9, must be insane on DX10

I'd almost liken it more to Dawn of War in terms of the type of RTS it is.

Thanks I'll install it and give it a go.

EDIT:
Situation Update: installed the game, during the training exercise, I got very much bored -this game needs to be played over a control panel, not actually doing stuff- and uninstalled even before starting the game. Fortunately it had came free with the Graphics card.

I also got it with my VGA, haven't tried it yet... in fact, I've never played a strategy game.
