Technically speaking your soul is your mind, your will and your emotions. So not sure what the heck the fellow was griping about.

Warplan has a mind (the AI and yours in using the tools of the game). Warplan has a will (I will crush those units in my path to victory!) and Warplan does have emotions (that rascal John the Greek has confounded me again!!!!).

When the Wargamer said it has no soul I believe it's because I didn't have decision events (SC3), card play (DC), a moving scenario decision event (UoC), or a complex political system (HoI4)

I believe that is what they meant. I feel the reviewer didn't understand where the depth was.... hidden... in strategy that varies and could be countered. I play poker and there are many ways to play correctly vs how your opponent plays. WarPlan is like poker IMO. Third Reich was more like chess.

Feel free to comment on the Wargamer review and write your own comments good or bad. Either way it means people will at least look at my game and come to the forum driving sales via curiosity.
