Ever dream about AWD?

Gary Grigsby’s World at War is back with a whole new set of features. World at War: A World Divided still gives complete control over the production, research and military strategy for your side, but in this new updated version you’ll also be able to bring spies into the mix as well as neutral country diplomacy, variable political events and much more. Perhaps the largest item is the ability to play a special Soviet vs. Allies scenario that occurs after the end of World War II.

that is fun to play but no biggie if you make a few mistakes.

If by "no biggie, you mean the sky doesn't fall, of course you are right; but if you mean that you can "get away with" a few mistakes and win, well then you are, ummm "mistaken."
I do understand what you are saying though, usually you do not for example: lose a capital over a trivial error.  (But in the case of England and Moscow, the term "trivial" is open to interpretation......[;)])

All right Templeton, it has to be asked: are you the soldier in the picture?  Where are you based?  Deployed?  I worked at SHAPE/Chievres here in the BENELUX for 7 years............feel free to drop me a PM if you are in the area and we'll have a beer.....even if you are in K-Town or the surrounding area, I'd be happy to pay you a visit.

What we like about AWD is that it is a light game, no slur intended, that is fun to play but no biggie if you make a few mistakes.
That may be just me, but I need about an hour to make a solid move in 1941+. And I think about it in advance or later more often than I'd like too... [:o]

Sure, there are much more detailed and complicated games on the market, but I like it exactly the way it is. When trying to play well it's even at an upper limit of what I can afford at the moment.

The mistake I make is getting too greedy.
 
I just see territory to invade and do so and it usually comes back and bites me in the arse.
 
I just need to learn to prioritize better and also how to be more patient.(probably the same in my offline life as well[:D])

Ditto that, as the game goes on, I seem to take longer thinking what moves should I make, specially while playing the allies.

By 1945 moving the WA to take down Japan becomes a total light Col's staff work session.......I play extremely fast but in this situation, yep, I'm diddling for about an hour.....this also happens to me when I play the Axis anytime after Barbarossa/PH.

Oh yeah the Axis take time to move, but only if they are on the winning run, if you're on the defensive with them, doesn't take so long, unlike the WA which even losing take time to make the turn.
