Thanks for the heads up - I love the ending...{The Panther team deserves it!)
This is a very solid game. While I’m still more inclined to the turn based style of wargaming, computers are better able to model real-time engagments, keeping track of a myriad of statistics such as fatigue, ammunition, rate of fire and the like than was possible in previous years. Innovation and creativity are requirements for a healthy, growing genre of games. This is the gradual evolution of our hobby, and HttR is a prime example of when someone is doing it right.

I’m not entirely certain where the future of wargaming lies, but with titles like Highway to the Reich leading the way, I can rest content that it’s in good hands!
