In Defense of CLOD, there is a new patch that's been out for a short while that GREATLY improves the experience. I bought the game just to try out the patch, and I've been beyond impressed with it so far. It's called the "Team Fusion Mod", and Simhq did a 6 page review on it a couple months back, and it's still on their front page. If you're bored and looking for a really impressive single player WW2 game, it has a lot to offer you IMO. Does it replace AH2, absolutely not, but every now and then I want to play a campaign style game or setup some massive intercepts etc, and it's the best thing I've found so far, even though I've been following the new IL2 Stalingrad development closely, as I'll probably switch to that. That said, CLOD being as disappointing as it was on release, is a whole new game with the mod. Read the review and decide yourself. There are lots of Utube vids of the mod in action as well to check out.
edit - If you do try it out, get the Redux Campaign mod for the BoB as well, it's amazing, and really makes the battles much larger and better. I got the game for 5$ on sale on Steam by the way as well, so for 5$, it's an incredible value IMO.
