Things I like and dislike

I'm a sucker for any WWII game that covers the whole ETO.
This game is far from perfect but it has some things that I really like.
As Germany when I invade Russia my army that looks huge in Poland looks tiny once the invasion starts. Most computer wargames don't give me this feeling.
The map is big enough to provide maneuver room but not so big as to make me lose track of my units.
I like the idea of only 1 coordinated attack per turn per unit. This is a nice touch.
I like the reasearch. It is simple but it does a good job allowing improvements of the key areas in a game of this scale.
I like the fact that only one countries units move and fight at one time. This keep allies from acting as a single entity.
I like the way supply is handled with one exception noted below.
I like the game itself, it's fun.
It also has some things I don't like.
I don't like the naval system at all. In fact I don't have a clue on how it works.
I don't like the instant building of new units.
I don't like the instant full supply ability of a captured city.
I don't like the unlimited build capacity of units.
Overall I don't regret buying the game at all.
