Search under the thread "UV until Patch" for my comment about my father not buying a color tv (ever) because he kept waiting for the next, better color tv.
Wade in now. Given the crowd who made this game, they will be polishing it up for a long time.

Its by far one of the best wargames I've ever played (exception: Combat mission series). Its a good mix of Operational and Strategic warfare. The only downside is the magnitude of controlling the entire Pacific campaign. Controlling every land,sea and air assets in several different operations, planning (and tagging units for) future ops; is quite a duanting task. If you buy it be prepared to invest TONS of your time. My first night playing (scen 15 Japan) I spent the whole afternoon, just figuring out where I had what and making a plan, giving orders only to progress one day in game time b4 bedtime! If your looking for something thats less time consuming, I highly recommend Uncommon Valor instead. I'm still playing that in lieu witp, until its all patched up. UV is purley operational and is far easier to jump in to then witp. Have Fun!
Yep agree with all previous comments. This game will just get better & better as time goes on now.Also I'd like to say that when I tried to d/l 1.20 & 1.21 I had major probs that I didn't have a clue how to sort out. But thanks to Reiryc's help I managed to solve the problem. So not only is this a fab game but there are fab people connected with it who are prepared to help others with problems. That makes it well worth the price in my book. Many big games developers would do well to take note as there are not many out there that offer that level of help to customers.
This game is very fun and addictive, a real achievement in wargaming. With a database this massive, OOB issues are bound to happen. Playable from day 1, it will improve in time and is worth the cost.

Guys do no wear yourselves out. Pace yourself. There will be another 3 posts about this same subject in the next couple of days. Besides I now have 6 threads that same the exact same thing, to post the next time someone asks this question. [:D]
There is no chance, no destiny, no fate, that can circumvent or hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul.
Best wargame of any genre on the market, bar none.
Even with the bugs, mostly minor, the oddities etc, it's the most fun I've ever had with a wargame. I thought nothing would ever replace closecombat as my favorite, but this did it.
The game is playable and enjoyable even with the aforementioned issues/bugs etc. So you really aren't losing out on anything by purchasing it now and enjoying it as more enhancements and bug fixes take place as none are show stoppers anymore.
