Review:

At a time when all wargames were simple programs that featured lots of text and UDG's this was a real breakthrough with some stunning graphics and excellent gameplay. Of course this was at a time when programmers were still getting to grips with the Spectrum and it quickly became obsolete.

The only problem that stopped it being a classic game was that it was often actually very difficult to complete a full game as it had a frustrating habit of crashing all too frequently. Just a little more bug-testing would have made a huge difference.
