“World War II and RTS gaming – they go together like, well, the most popular war era in the world and (amongst developers at least) the most popular war game genre in the world. PC gaming could be by all intents and purposes dead, and there would still be developers scattered around the globe producing WWII RTS’s. One of those developers would probably be 1C Company, and together with Battlefront.com, they have created what could be the finest WWII RTS ever made in Theatre of War, although it is definitely not an RTS for everyone.”Here is some more Tech News from around the web:

When is a WW2 RTS not an RTS?
TweakTown reviews Theatre of War, a new World War 2 RTS with a bit of a twist. This game is not based around starting a base from scratch and climbing troop tiers, or on the fly research. You are forced to use strategy and terrain, not simply reflexes in order to win the battles. The army you battle with in a campaign is slightly modifiable, but once you take the field you aren’t going to get to build more troops. If you are aching for an RTS that relies more on careful planning than quick reflexes, then this may be what you’ve been waiting for.
