Any chance of a quick AAR

Gary Grigsby's World At War gives you the chance to really run a world war. History is yours to write and things may turn out differently. The Western Allies may be conquered by Germany, or Japan may defeat China. With you at the controls, leading the fates of nations and alliances. Take command in this dynamic turn-based game and test strategies that long-past generals and world leaders could only dream of. Now anything is possible in this new strategic offering from Matrix Games and 2 by 3 Games.

Well, I guess we can say a thing or two without breaching the NDA...

So, strictly in my personal opinion (as beta tester), this game:

a) Has significant market potential (not as huge as Warcraft, but for a wargame certainly significant [8D])
b) Is more complicated than I expected it to be, I'd dare say it goes out of "beer and pretzels" range in many aspects.
c) Looks nice [:D]

Other than that I would not dare comment at this moment, for many reasons (last but not least the NDA)

We just sent out a test version that has PBEM capability. Let the guys get used to it for a couple of days and then we'll open it up to AAR's.

no AAR stuff at the moment but i wanted to say. This game is a vast improvement over axis and allies (in my opinion this is its closest game comparison) i think that the PBEM aspect will really open up the different ways that you can play the game-different strategies etc.

getting used to supply and production/research can be a little daunting at first but this game is a blast to play and will have a great PBEM aspect i believe-you can make a move in 1/2 hour or less-my opening move with germany takes all of 10 minutes now.
for an alpha version i have to say i have experienced very few bugs and the AI is being upgraded.

just to try and give you guys out there further info. hopefully i ca post some AAR stuff next week. i have 1 game going at the moment.
