I would also like to know this.
And to anyone not aware of it, Men of War is one of the best action RTS games out there with a focus on tactical use of a small number of units in a 'semi-realistic' setting. Men have limited ammo and may have to scavenge for more in prolonged firefights and vehicles have no health bar, simply an armour rating and various components which can be damaged or destroyed.
Units are smart, being able to throw their own grenades, heal themselves, take cover, pick up dropped weapons when they're knocked out of their hands and can be formed into squads with a click-drag so that they operate as a single unit.
You can also direct control any of your units, remaining in the isometric camera, but taking control of the individual units guns and movement. Great for getting a sneaky AT nade on the back of a hostile tank or firing that important shot from an AT gun. Other members of an infantry squad will attempt to follow and cover the one you take control of, limiting your micro.
There is also a nice physics engine at play, letting you turn most of a given map into rubble. Don't like a sniper in a tower? An HE shell or two will smash it to pieces. Germans in a field? Set the corn on fire and watch it burn. Two Tiger tanks destroying your defences and coop partner? Do what I did, hyjack a fuel truck, sneak around behind the tigers and park it between them, quickly getting your buddy to drop an HE artillery shell on it before they react. The shell itself is useless against the Tigers, but the explosion caused by the fuel truck is enough to take them both out. Just a nice little bit of on-the-fly improvised tactics that Men of War so often lends itself to.
I'm too weak to resist:lol
