Hmm, I thought it was a pretty favorable writeup, on the whole. It did irk me that the reviewer constantly cited Hearts of Iron as the paradigm of complexity -- and as a "turn-based" game at that. Bah! I like HOI, but it's not exactly World in Flames. Other than that, though, it seemed like a fair preview based on what I've read in your AARs here. It made me want the game more, that's for sure. [:'(]

Ah, its not that bad - the reviewer seems pretty upbeat about the game & since he was looking at an early alpha (and we know how much has changed since then)....it probably does accurately reflect what he saw at the time.

Well, perhaps I was a tad bit too harsh. I'll re-edit my original message (humming "give peace a chance" in the background).
