First impression anyone?

I jumped right in and started playing, but now I am realizing there is quite a bit of depth in this game system. I have been learning how to use the supply system which I really like because is forces the player to make some choices of which units to allocate the supply.

Yup this may take me awhile. As the saying goes hard to teach an old dog new tricks. [&:]

So far read the rules but too much there for me to remember well which isn't uncommon. But this is quite different with a lot of things to do with each and every unit or stack you want to do something with.

Read the tutorial and quick start but same thing. The days of simple values on counters and easy movement have passed me by. I certainly see some real innovation here and great potential. For me and from a few comments at least some others jump in and learn as you play is going to be difficult. Set this, set that (first you have to find all these things which doesn't come natural) allocate this, allocate that, coordinate this, coordinate that etc.

As I started, this may take awhile But seeing some of the other postings this may be worth the effort if it eventually clicks somehow in my brain.

I'm loving it. Usually not a fan of the operational games, prefer the more strategic level, but this game is great. A few minor quirks and grumbles, but that's normal. I really enjoy the WEGO system, far closer to real life than IGO UGO. 5 outta 5 from me.

If it makes you feel any better, when I first started beta testing this game, it took me awhile to wrap my head around the UI and rules. But once it clicked in my noodle, I really started loving it. What you're experiencing sounds exactly what I experienced. And that's why I decided to do the User Guide/Tutorial. You'll get there, Yogi.

I just discovered the supply button on the unit detail pop up window. I can allocate movement, or combat supply, or both, directly to the HQ or units without going into the main supply window. Very nice feature.

I'm busy commanding the Italian 10th Army in the battle for Sidi Barrani, and it feels exactly like it should - a somewhat unwieldy mass of troops, steamrolling across the desert, plagued by traffic jams and routing errors, being forced to assemble overwhelming odds in the face of even the slightest resistance, while watching my supplies and off map assets carefully and doling them out like hard won presents. I love it.

Someday I hope to set the correct at-start conditions for the player where the Supply Button is not considered "a discovery". Thanks for sharing none-the-less!

The last wego game I played is Stalingrad and America invade(V for victory serie in 1999). Is the game very difficult to learn ? I remember that Stalingrad and America invade were a little bit complicated to use

Yes, this game is difficult to learn.

Somebody had to say it.
