I'm probably most excited for overrun. I really liked that mechanic in Panzer General 2 and the tanks in Panzer Corps always felt really inadequate to me. It was still a good game which I fully supported but not great like Panzer General 2 imo. I'm hopeful this one will be. I'm a little concerned about the graphics though and am not sure why the color is so bland, the shadows amorphous, and the infantry seem to tower over all the other units...

I think the 'larger-than-life' infantry thing is a stylistic choice to keep everything in perspective. If you play Field of Glory 2, there's a similar effect where terrain features like houses etc... are tiny compared to the infantry units that seem like giants. It's just a visual thing to abstractly represent the scale you're fighting at.

It won't please everyone but to try and make it look more 'realistic' I think would be worse for the game.

Time will tell though.
