Ive only played the Sega version and I ran around for 5 minutes and couldn't figure it out. I know it's considered a good game though so I guess I should play it some more...

There is only a Sega version. A game this good should be on PCE.
If you try again, just ask for tips. It's dead easy once you learn the commands.

It's all about the maps and how to best use the territory, me thinks. It's been a LONG while since I've played it but I remember it being rather tough.

2 player is TONS of fun.

I, regrettably, have yet to play this game. The mechs look just like the VF-1's from Macross, so it's on my "to-play" list.

Sorta but it's a straight up RTS, you can shoot from your transformer but it's not really a winning strategy.  The concept is simple, capture bases, either neutral or your enemies; destroy their main base.

Mind the terrain.

I was just playing Herzog Zwei two nights ago.  I'd love to see footage of the original Herzog.

Herzog Zwei is a different beast, Genesis only as far as I know.

Yes, my friend had it BITD. The 2-player battles were always difficult since the split screen allowed each of us to see what the other was doing. I borrowed it and enjoyed the single player a lot. I have very fond memories of HZ as it was my intro to RTS games. It led me to buy Dune: The Battle for Arrakis, which was one of the best games I've ever played.

Same.  I have it on recommendation from a friend, but I have no instructions.
