Gota agree with Judgedread here, damn good fun!
As far as why the general public does not seem to get the word on these type of games? I think that these games require too much mental effort for most people. When I was a kid we used to do jigsaw puzzles on the kitchen table. (only 3 or 4 chanels of tv were available through the rabbit ears!) I view most war games as an extension of the jigsaw puzzle days. Just a little more complexity!
95% of them I think are great fun!
But, complaining about micromanagement!? Anyone remember the old Starfire campaign game?

You want to talk about micro-management? Check out SPI/Richard Berg's old North Africa monster game! These kids have no idea what micromanagement is!

As per my opinion of the game I couldn't care less about any review at this point. I read the posts of the people of this forum, figured they had an interest in history and wargaming like myself and took the plunge to my immense satisfaction.
My guess is that everyone who's already playing this fantastic game feels pretty much the same and those who will purchase it will enjoy it enormously as well.
Having said all that I do hope it gets the reviews it deserves so that players who may not frequent these forums or necessarily follow wargaming in general take a close look at this title and help it's sales.
Thanks to all the players who "reviewed" it before me.

Absolutely right - this isn't 'micro-management' this is a proper war game - well done.
