You also can purchase off the map units, in my scenerio I picked 105mm artillary and 2 Stuka dive bombers. I went through the tutorial but it was still fun. I first called in artillary strikes on a hill and in a nearby village. The sound of the shells comming in was really nice and the graphics for the shells hitting were great. Blew thecrap out of the village and took out some of the enemy.
Movement is very easy, just point and click.
Animations are ok, reminds me of some of the board games I used to play a long time ago, but its still very nice. I thought you would only control a squad of tanks and the computer would control the rest. From what I can tell so far though is you control them all. Things could take a long time. The graphics are very neat and work well to enhance the game.
