Thinking of buying

Post by demyansk »

I have watched this game and have a coupon. Just not sure if I should purchase.

Easy to install mods?
Extra scenarios?
Ease of playing?

Thanks

I'm really enjoying this game, one of my favorite purchases. (I have to admit that I haven't played any really big scenarios yet.)

IMHO 'ease of play' is a No because the user interface takes some getting used to, once that becomes second nature the game plays kind of nice, again IMHO.

I recommend reading the tutorial guide; it does a good job of showing the interface in action ....

Definitely thinking of buying, like tonite when I get home from work.
The WEGO system is a big selling point for me, as I greatly enjoyed something like it in Flashpoint Campaigns: Red Storm.
The theatre of the war is also a big selling point as North Africa has always been something I have not know much about, but always wanted to know more. The counters look great. The overstacking is a minor con, but I can get over it as the game mechanics to navigate stacks seem sound.
The different take on supply is really interesting. I am anxious to test it out.

It is a pity more scenarios were not released for the title, as well as a campaign, but that is okay. It will still be fun.
