I'll second that. It will be nice to have a WWI game that doesn't take forever to get into.

This one looks neat- I will be watching as things develop. As far as current Commander games which one is a good intro to the system?

Commander Europe at War is by far the more popular (and better) game of the series, and the most similar in terms of gameplay to The Great War.

I highly recommend Commander Europe at War, especially since the new Grand Strategy mod has come out. There's another Grand Strategy release coming out (2.0) and it promises to be the best yet!

Is 2.0 a patch or a new product? In other words if I purchase the WWII iteration, will it soon be out of date an not upgradeable to 2.0?

Thanks if advance for your help!
