Glad all the Steam keys are fixed for everyone. Once you get them please do an honest review on WarPlan in Steam.

If you liked it great
If you didn't that's fine also
Accuracy and fairness is what I am looking for.

From reviews on Steam I can better improve future versions of the game.

Some early feedback, just started playing.

Interface needs to be improved. Example: When I click an active menu it should close.
When I build new units I should see a list of my production queue. And so on...

The manual and tutorial are good but you are really lacking an example on how to use
your fleet. I thought I could send my DDs after submarines for example.

Merging units is utterly unintuitive.

The map is great (except Norway). Would have really liked to have Italian East Africa included,
even as a "box area". Use the space where Greenland and northern Canada is?

Really like the supply system, simple but effective.

Would like ingame explanations of weather and terrain effects when I hover over a hex.

3840 x 2160 does not work for me. Not only is the text too small but the game becomes unresponsive.

1920 x 1080 works fine.

May I suggest to try using [ and ] keys to scale the interface?

There is a Deployment window where you can see what you have build. See this thread for a screenshot:

One person posted on the Steam discussion board that he wished he could pull up the scenario notes throughout the game instead of seeing them once at the beginning.
