Game is a winner!

Post by Templer_12 »

No matter what other reviewers say, for me, the game is a winner.
I'm more a hardcore strategy gamer. But I can not always play WitP.
After several weeks of rest I started a game again - and it's still fun again.

The game may lack great depth. The graphics? You have to get used to.
But for the price there is no reason not to buy it.
The game is fun, and ultimately that is what matters.
For $ 35 you can hardly go wrong.
In the past, I've paid considerably more money for much worse games.

What´s not the best?
The solution of the continuation in the campaigns.
Should the developers continue working on updates and changes to Operation Barbarossa, the following suggestion:
Map A win- so go to Map B. You win again- go to Map C and so on.
But if you lose a map you have to move back the previous map with the already existing forces and play the previous map again.
So: Map A win- so go to map B. You win again- go to map C you lose -then return to map B with your existing troops.

That is violating some of the first rules you learn about scenario designing.
