It seems that only I don't like this Game, but I can't recommend it.
It's too cluttered, too unkind to Use. HoI is the better Choice!
Was there in a Bundle, otherwise I would curse the Purchase. Even the Tutorial is a Murks. Only after The End of a Round is there something more general explained. Why not just say all this at the Beginning, and learn how to play the Game comfortably there?

What more could you want, acquired for 2 Euros and even for 10 Euros it would be Top for me!
Reminds me strongly Of "clash of steel" and I really liked to play that at the time.
Control and Operation is quick to learn in the Kampanie if you have already played such Titles.
With a balanced Attitude arrived on the German Side in Mid-1940. AI like mostly not so the Hero but it goes, look what's yet to come:-)
For quick Rounds between without having to go into the Deep end like the Hearts of Iron series.

This game is mid-level. You can enjoy it both seasoned strategists and beginners, it all depends on the difficulty you choose. The manual is in English which makes it difficult to understand many of the options if you are not familiariciado with this type of games, especially the naval theme and its operation, as well as the role of the fighters.
Regarding Bugs has a pretty fat on the stage Gotterdamerung, which is that you can not handle the fleet if you play the German side, which makes this scenario unplayable from that side.
Also in this same scenario the USA have access to detonate nuclear warheads in the spring of 1944, which is a fairly inexplicable historical incongruence on the part of the developers.
Do Not expect either to use or buy combat tanks or airplanes for their models like the Sherman, the T-34 or the Panzer IV for putting some examples, everything comes with generic names that are given a combat value according to their technology, nothing else.
The options of diplomacy are very small and also those of production and the technology are of laughter.
The Strong point of this game is to plan your units, and your operational movements taking the best performance to your production points to win the war little by little, as the shifts are weekly, so do not expect fast games in the game Campaign. Planning is vital in this game if you do crazy things you pay, if you move your units in a way too ambitious you pay, if you do not take care of your supply lines and port supply (in the case of allies) you pay. There are Also many variables for events but not at all you can choose the option, there are therefore some historical, which I think is good, in this sense is balanced so that things do not happen nonsense.
In Summary is a good game for €10, but remember that on the stage of the 44 for the Germans can not get into the naval options because it throws you to the screen to start the game.
I'd give it a 7 over 10.
Salutacions.
