Comparison between WbtS and ACW

Post by scout1 »

I have ACW and never really could get into it even though the WEGO concept really appealled to me. Can someone who has tried both these games weigh in on a comparison of the differences between them or point me where one already exists.

Thanks

The two games are too different to be compared at all.

I played ACW extensively last year. Difficult to compare. ACW is more operational in nature. I think this simulates the ACW a little better as strange things would happen in ACW that I couldn't figure out. This is likely a more elegant design. I like both.
