All and all the best strategic/operational game out on the market so far.


Totally agree. I gripe and bitch, but I love this game.

You might regret that statement:)

Obviously there are some mechanics that can be improved (hence WP2), however, I agree overall balance is good. If there needed to be an adjustment, I would suggest it could be on victory conditions, not units/resources etc. It seems that the flow can occur close to historical - WWII is always 3 games (all Axis, and balance, all Allies) and that is the flow I have experienced in PBEM games.

If no one talks = bad for a game
If people debate = good for the game

Nothing is perfect. There is no perfect game. What I like is not what you like. There are things in WP I don't like but they are in there because YOU GUYS like and you are the majority.

I just filled a missing niche in this genre.

Everyone will complain regardless of how good a game is. I love WP and switched all my MP play over from Panzer Corps.

Because I had nothing better to do I took a look at the 11 most recent completed AARs to see who won. Assuming that Liquidsky (Axis) lost his game to Sveint (Allies), than the Axis won 5 and the Allies 6. Of course all of these games were started prior to the latest version. But I still think it is a testament to the fact that Alvaro has done a pretty good job with game balance.

And a testament to the fact I am a pretty bad player... as Axis and as Allies...

Thanks. I plan on playing a few more games with Hadros to work out more game balance issues. We are fairly evenly matched and learning things all the time.

As long as the Americans will receive the Elite Chuck Norris Clones corps I'm ok with that.
