1) Scale and land warfare: great, it’s a great wargame, finally without the real time strategy system (in my opinion a tactical game may use real time system, not a strategic game!!!). Finally a “monster game”, you can move a lot of counters in a lot of space!!
2) Naval system: Arrrrgghhhh! the opposite of land warfare!!! Too simple, not clear, with a lot of bug (AFTER the 1.70 patch, if you mantain the flag “on” for auto deploy system in naval windows the system collapse and you lose the last turn!)
3) Aircraft system: ?????? You pay 200 pp to create a bomber units. You pay 200 pp (more or less) to buy an armoured corps. With an armoured corp you destroy a lot of enemy units, occupy land, etc etc. Aircraft units are uneffective (You need 3/4 units to reduce 50% one land units, and normally you lose a lot of strenght points (their price is 12 for 1 points!). I think this is a clear problem of balance of the game
4) I.A. is terrible!!! I’m playng with Germany against Russia: computer player create tons and tons of little division and place the units in 4/5 lines all adiacent at the front line. Breakthroug is very difficult, you must “walking on” thousand and thousand of russian units.
5) Some message about some event are…… what kind of message is this??!!??? If you use a text box, please, you can explain better the situation, 5 words more are not so expensive!!!!!!!

Conclusion: The game is, potentially, the best wargame of the last years, but the develop, the naval and aircraft rules and the A.I quality is very, very low

The distance to move the mouse, the thoughtless button positioning, the need to click units more than once.

I struggle to do more than a couple of game turns before rsi and cramp sets in. Be warned if you are prone to this kind of thing.!!!
