As far as I can tell you can only play combat (the real time mode) on four maps with 4 differnt units to buy with adjustible funds. The problem is the base unit is too cost effective, and the most expencive unit, which for it's price should be a juggernaut, seems weak and is crippled by only being able to shoot far and not close. I've only played with one person however, and strategies that work 1v1 aren't likely to work if say, there are 7 more people playing. I'm curious to see how that would work, as there are only 4 teams. I guess it's either you take turns, or 2 units on a team at once.
Most people think that the real time mode was silly and just an afterthought. The core of AW has always been the turn based combat. I am deffinatly picking this up.
