<t> To answer the original question:<br/>
<br/>
1) A strong Ai.<br/>
2) No changes from the boardgame; not leaving any small things/special rules out. A decade of experience went into the boardgame. I´d prefer a 1:1 conversion without any 'improvements'.<br/>
3) Fat, printed manual with strategy ...

<t> The Axis made two very bad mistakes:<br/>

-They shouldn´t have attacked USA one minute earlier than necessary. Why give them extra production? The WA were out already, so why let them back in? [8|]<br/>
-They *should* have attacked Russia, grabbed a few victory point locations before US ...

this might be interesting to some of you. In the current game of AWAW (not GGWAW) here is a picture of England in Winter 1942. Black is GE, Tan is BR, and Green is US:<br/>

As for the criticism, we welcome it. I think I understand the expectation that the AI will be weaker than Axis & Allies due to the number of territories. <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>

Pah. I want a printed manual. A Pdf file is not the same. And I don´t want to pay extra for the CD, of course.

Actually yes, but he is not that online savvy, so I´d rather not do that. [:D]

It looks like Germany has it too easy.

And it´s not incompetent English play, only. [:D] Allied/Neutral setup forces are too weak.
