After some play time I must say it is very enjoyable. In the Beta you can play as 4 nations. The Japanese, Yuri, Soviets, and the USA. I was playing Japanese the first time around. To build structures it is just like any other C&C game. The Japanese, you have to build it at the yard then it comes in a vehicle, which you then have to deploy.
I hope to get some more play time in.
