I think this is my first post!
I have been reading the forum entries with a great deal of interest and agree with many of the posters who have commented that this is their "dream game". I have progressed from the paper and counter games in the 70's (Wagram;PanzerGruppe Guderian;Arnhem etc). They lacked a solitaire playability and there was little to be learnt without having an opponent anyway.
The counters usually had to be stuck down with blue tac and inevitably got nudged if left for any length of time, the blue tac also removed some of the counter artwork as well as leaving greasy marks on the map
I have really enjoyed reading the AAR and looking at the screenshots and I am eagerly anticipating the release of the game but to echo another post, I'm concerned that there is going to be a steep learning curve to be able to play this game and actually enjoy it, in other words not to get thrashed before the end of 1941!
I did beta test AH Third Reich many years ago but that unfortunately is no longer playable on todays PC's. (I throw that in as my claim to fame
)I was wondering if anyone remembers the (ultimately vapourware) of IGN's vaunted "Road to Moscow", and whether Matrix had any plans to create something similar? (Guys - I really do love what you are doing with this game btw, I don't want to think otherwise). RtM was envisaged as a real-time game rather than tunr based and - if I remember rightly there was potential for crazy orders to come from Hitler/Stalin, which the player ignored at his peril
I managed to find one reference ot the game http://uk.pc.ign.com/articles/131/131163p1.html
