Wargames do not really concern themselves with snappy graphics engines or friendly interfaces, but they are quite popular in certain circles. The amount of available tactical options is crucial, as is the ability to control almost everything about the troops under your command, because that is what makes a wargame worthy of losing the few hours required to finish a scenario.
Combat Command 2: Desert Rats was developed with the true fans of the genre in mind, since it certainly does not try to make things simple for newcomers. The interface can be difficult to get accustomed to in the beginning, at least if you are not familiar with this type of games and you expect everything to be handed out to you from the start. After you choose the desired scenario, the troops are deployed and you are on your own.
Speaking of which, there are seventeen battles to choose from, each one of which has been designed to come as close to the real thing as possible. Obviously, you can choose the side to play on and try to change history’s course, although that may prove to be quite the challenge. It is also possible to play with friends over the Internet, or even on the same computer, thanks to the hot seat option.
The map is displayed in a hex grid, although the grid itself can be disabled if you are not comfortable with all the lines. As usual, each unit can only do one move per turn, so you must choose wisely and keep an eye on the overall picture whenever your turn comes around. There are many different ways to control your army, which means that it all depends on the path you choose to take.
A successful strategy may take some time to show results, which is why the game requires a bit of patience if you are to enjoy it fully. However, due to the basic nature of the visual design, there isn’t much you can look at while you are waiting, unless your thoughts keep you busy in the meantime. There are no time limits, however, so there’s certainly no rush to put your ideas in motion.
All things considered, Combat Command 2: Desert Rats is as true to the genre as it can get, without compromising vision and originality. The experience may be incredibly similar to every other wargame out there, but there are plenty of mechanics and options integrated into it to provide you with something unique.
