All you think about is WitP, next turn, what you SHOULD have done last turn... You can't sleep, you're dog's angry at not being fed (let alone companion or children, if you have any), work doesn't get done at work, your house doesn't get cleaned... Enjoyable? Fun? Naw. It's engrossing, even consuming. I'm terrified my hard drive will crash and I'll lose my game!

[:D]

Not far from the truth ... rarely do i not have WitP thought running through my head about how I can do this better here or change that little thing ...

I estimate it would take about a year to play the entire 1941 to 1945 game (maybe 1 month of the game per week of realtime or 4 years in 50 weeks).

This time frame is the only item in the thread that bothers me significantly. Not only would I like to be able to finish a solo game in a month or two or maybe three, for my own satisfaction ( and play more than one campaign in my lifetime!), I am puzzled as to how this game could have been debugged and balanced for the campaign if it takes that long to play. Time warped beta-testers? :-)

Other than that rather significant item, the game sounds good.

Thank you all for the comments. Anyone considering the game should read this thread.

I imagine they used a lot of computer vs computer campaigns for balance testing...
