Help me grow awareness of WitW

Gary Grigsby’s War in the West 1943-45 is the most ambitious and detailed computer wargame on the Western Front of World War II ever made. Starting with the Summer 1943 invasions of Sicily and Italy and proceeding through the invasions of France and the drive into Germany, War in the West brings you all the Allied campaigns in Western Europe and the capability to re-fight the Western Front according to your plan.

Help me grow awareness of WitW

Post by ACloudySheep »

Hey guys,

I just started a let's play of WitW on youtube and would appreciate any feedback. I am trying to get some Gary Grigsbys game some more recognition, but as you know after all this is a pretty niche game (and part of entertainment).

Also, I hope that you might find this interesting. I am not so much going for a max VP strategy, but I want to find out whether there are areas that hurt pretty badly for the Germans. So ignoring subs for now, first priority targets are going to be Vehicles. I base that loosely on the United States Strategic Bombing Survey from after the war and will be narrating some elements of that in the series.

So, any tips are welcomed. So far I only played some WitE and read through some AARs (specially by Loki), but there will be gaps.

Thanks!

So, since I am more of a lurker I dont have the number of posts required to post links. I hope the mods will in this case excuse a slight workaround: The youtube extention is kn8s59v1-WI. If a kind soul with appropriate rights could actually post a link in this threat that would be welcome.

Re: max VPs and subs.

While your strategy is certainly your own, if you are looking to max VPs, U-Boats untouched will be a significant obstacle.

Good luck on your game awareness quest. [8D]

I occasional come back to this title because of the subject matter, but I still find myself struggling with that overburdened feeling of playing two games at once.
