RE: First Impressions

<t> Here are some of my first impressions:<br/>
<br/>
Download and installation was easy.<br/>

I started by skimming the manual. It's complexity was scary.<br/>

RE: 35 Years Old IBM PC 5150

I have a Heathkit H8 (home built), Pet, Apple II, II+, IIc and a II GS signed by Steve Wozniak.

Did I mention I have a TRS-80?

I paid $2,000 for an external hard drive for my II GS. It had a whopping[:D] 5 MB of storage....[:D]

I have been reading the manual, AARs and postings. I think I am getting somewhere with the air operations and logistics system. Looking a very interesting game. Maybe a PBEM with a fellow newbie.

Not from a surface ship point of view - the lead time is too long. I was intending an effect like that of bombing resource, not moving individual units around. By 1943 the naval options are fixed but the WA response to them ...

Wrong game scale. The real Bismarck operation is less than 2 turns. There is a lot lot of improvement needed in the naval aspect before we get to WitP scale ship ops. I want the resource system in Germany to reflect Norwegian imports, and ...

RE: Why does War in the West begin in 1943 ?

With such a complex supply model, it seems to me a naval component (even abstracted) is paramount... sigh. Still love WiTW however.... I constantly have a game going.

I guess I still long for the scenario where Bismarck breaks out into the Atlantic and visits the American coast...

I had the game for several months but have not managed to play even one game vs the AI. I am clueless and the air war seems too complicated. Been playing WITE lots instead.
