WW2: Road to Victory is the first grand strategy release from IQ Software/Wastelands Interactive, which covers World War II in Europe and the Mediterranean. Hex-based and Turn-based, it allows you to choose any combination of Axis, Allied, Neutral, Major or Minor countries to play and gives you full control over production, diplomacy, land, air and naval strategy. Start your campaign in 1939, 1940 or 1941 and see if you can better the results of your historical counterparts. A series of historical events and choices add flavor and strategic options for great replayability.

Nice to see that the Combat Results no longer covers the land battle. However, when an airstrike is made the Combat Results still covers the hex being attacked. Should be easy to fix. Thanks!

Here are some points, some are old.
 
1) Please have AI nations get distinct unit numbering too.  I often switch between Axis/Allied and would love to never see "New Unit" again.
 
2) Having the unit change name when it goes from division to corps would be nice. Or you could have the name be more generic eg: "1st Infantry", rather than "1st Infantry Division".
 
3) Using the small navigation map in the upper right should not cancel a "Deploy new unit" action, or any other action.
 
4) The air unit rebase really needs a range painted so one can see acceptable hexes.
 
5) Could you have the City naming language as an option.  I rather liked the old names, and having a choice would be very nice.
 
6) A German unit based out of Romania captures PP for Romania, not Germany.  It would be nice if this was an option.
 
7) Please implement PP transfers across land, as well as convoys.  Running a convoy from Genoa to Kiel seems a weird way to transfer points.
 
Thanks for a great game.

I will number my comments (requests) in sequence.

8) Please add a report showing losses by PP value. Thus if you destroy a Level 1 Armored Corps it will be reported as 240 points. This is a very valuable way to compare losses.

9) The Losses report is a bit tight, with numbers overwriting each other, at least at my resolution.
