It's been awhile since I last played this. It is kind of interesting that you found it mostly tedious though. I can see how it might eventually get a bit time consuming if you played for awhile. I kind of found defending the camp to be fun though. Trenches are pretty cool too. Although, I mostly play foxhole for trench stuff now.
I honestly had mostly forgotten about this game, but had fun when I played the demo from 2ish years ago.
But, I am trying it out again. The concept and basic gameplay is pretty fun. So, I am looking forward to seeing the progress that has been made.
