Thanks for that - and the other articles on your site.

Incidentally, one of your commenters mentioned Campaigns on the Danube - there a forum for that here on Matrix - the game is enjoyable - see some of the AARs by Rasputitsa.

A) this is the only post that this poster has posted, so that smells a lot like a spammer

B) this post smells a lot like an AI generated message.

It's important to understand both the strengths and weaknesses of the Axis forces so that you can make the most of your advantages and minimize your disadvantages.
3. Plan your operations carefully. War in the East 2 is a grand strategy game, so it's important to plan your operations carefully. You need to consider a number of factors, including the enemy's strengths and weaknesses, the terrain, and the availability of resources. Don't just wing it; take the time to plan your moves carefully.
4. Be flexible and adaptable. Things don't always go according to plan in War in the East 2. The enemy will often surprise you, and you'll need to be able to adapt your plans accordingly. Don't get discouraged if things don't go your way; just keep trying and you'll eventually find a way to win.
5. Have fun! War in the East 2 is a challenging game, but it's also a lot of fun. Don't take it too seriously; just relax and enjoy the game.

Here are some additional tips that may be helpful:

• Don't give up. War in the East 2 is a difficult game, but it's also very rewarding. Don't give up if you lose a few games; just keep practicing and you'll eventually get better.

So A is probably true as well. And that is scary.
