This is a timeless strategy classic.
The premise of this game is creative; Einstein, in an attempt to prevent the horror of World War II, goes back in time to eliminate Hitler. After succeding, however, he returns to find the Soviet Union stronger than ever before and on the brink of destroying the Allies.
What's great is that the missions are always fun, never too hard or too easy. They always require a good strategy, and can pretty much never be won by wars of attrition (mostly because controlling large groups of units across a small space, such as a bridge, is a hassle). An excellent techno soundtrack rounds out the package nicely.
Ham-fisted acting and acknowledgements that are virtually identical from one unit to another aside, you'll never truly put this game down (I've been playing since 1997, lol).
