O boy... What a game

Post by KenchiSulla »

All,

I just finished turn 9 in a 1943-1945 learning PBEM with Mkeens... I'm having so much fun. Even if there is no ground combat there is so much tweak, organize and shift.. And it is so much fun to optimize supply lines, routes, sorting the mess that it is the rear. This is one of the few games that really makes me think about the difficulties the commanders were facing so many years ago..

This game engine can only grow...

I feel your joy. 2by3 does such a great job with weather, logistics and the like you really get the feel of being in command and dealing with the issues other games give such little thought too.

I am playing a 43-44 Italy scenario, Salerno to Rome to be exact, and floundering my way through it and enjoying the hell out of it. Learning as I go, which is the only way to do it.
