Bringing WIR to life

<r>Having played Second Front/ WIR for many years I wonder if anyone else out there like me has tried to bring the 'nameless' infantry divisions etc to life. I 'd like to recommend Samuel Mitcham's book 'Hitler's Legions' as a way of getting some deails on the German divisions. Here are some ...

Tiger and Panther ratings and costs.

<t>Have sometimes wondered about this. The Tiger is 18/16 Attack/Defence, cost 7. The Panther is 20/14, cost 8.

WIR Expansion to other Fronts!?

<t>Have been playing WIR for years, since it was SSI's 'Second Front'. Unbeatable format. What would fans think of an attempt to include Western and Mediterranean ('Italian')Fronts as 'playable' i.e like the Eastern Front - with maps, units - exactly like East.
