I downloaded the Demo and I thought it was pretty cool as well. The entire system reminds me a lot of Company of Heroes (which I love!) and that is a major plus!
The only thing that is a setback with C2 is that There isn't going to be major Naval control in the game, and I want to be sure that I can send navies to blockade, impose, y'know...do their thing. So yeah. I'm still pretty undecided on the whole thing.
