fun times as I learn wow

[freeboy]

Not noob, BUT feel like it! and having a very exciting time playing a "learner" where I read and play.. playing the may campeign as German on easy...
GOOD AI!!!!

[freeboy]

I almost got a crushing d day expansion as my panzer counter was stopped dead by concentrated enemy air.. one depleted para stopped me cold....
Its really a most mature release after the somewhat challenged release of WITE... I highly recomment this, its obviously been well tested .

[Dante Fierro]

I'm really bowled over by everything so far. The map is beautiful, the interface elegant and usable, the details really rich. I am in awe of what has been accomplished here. Kudos to Grigsby and gang!

In the readme file, the designers make the following suggestions if you are playing against the Allied AI:

"2. Since it is much harder to create an AI for the attacking side, we strongly suggest that when playing against the Allied AI you give the AI more help than when playing against the German AI. Once you are experienced with the WitW interface and game mechanics, we suggest playing games against the German AI at Challenging level. When playing against the Allied AI it’s advisable to give additional help such as setting the game to Challenging and then increasing the Allied Morale Level to 125."

Allies just overwhelming with numbers .. 0over 2k afv committed, finaly wearing down my strongest units..

I have to agree. I am struggling as allied on normal (not badly, just not quite getting the VPs I need) while I tried axis on normal and found it quite easy. will have to try a new game on challenging

[freeboy]

odd things like how to make a depot.. rules book say create, but still trying to figure out how..
simple things..
So after this learner Ill concentrate on air and logistics...
great game ...

[LiquidSky]

Yes, I noticed that the Rulebook is filled with gems like that, where they tell you to do something, but then neglect to tell you how. Usually I can figure it out on my own, then write a little note in the (printed myself) book. I got caught by the depot one, but let it go until I stumbled across it in game when I wanted to build an airfield.

[freeboy]

ok Its in the tutorial

[freeboy]

first real on easy ends as winter grips the west and the Allies are stuck in Normandy

Next test on normal in full campaign has me struggling in Italy after the Allies flank me and my attempt to pen them in Sicily

looks like Ill need to start an
AAR~!!!
