its different, theirs far more micro management in the game but the ai seems seamy competent and manages its responsibility well.

think a more in depth version of HOI3 where yo mange the battalions, in the bridges, in the divisions
 
It certainly is difficult but this is much easier than the previous SR titles. If you do get it spend some time looking through the interface, this isn't a game you will be able to pick up quick. You'll also want to play a small nation first run through. I played Yemen in my first game and found out a large amount about the economy and how it works. My next I played Saudi Arabia and attacked Yemen, it taught me a lot about the hex combat system. In my current game as Afghanistan I've learnt a huge amount about production and more.

It's a good game but it's also a long game. It'll give you more than enough time to work it out. :D
