Difference?

What makes this game different to all the other wargames at this scale?

It plays between a click, move, attack game like Commander Europe at War and War in the East. World in Flames is a close comparison in style with deeper data. Each WIF hex = 4 WarPlan hexes.

That sounds good. I've tried CEAW and liked it and also WIF but only the physical boardgame.
My initial impression is it looks like a playable board wargame such as SPI/Decision Games "War in Europe" or the computerised version CWIE. (Computer War in Europe) Corps level rather than Division level.

In all my years playing grand strategy WW2 wargames and computer wargames a European theater game with 25-30m per hex allows for the most flexibility, and operational feel, without being overwhelming.

As a board game you can play the European theater but not both at the same time unless you have a spare garage.
A Pacific theater game you don't need that kind of flexibility as land combat takes place mostly toward the capturing of objectives with a large naval factor involved. The Pacific theater is also 4x larger than the European one. So some adjustment must be made.

I remember the SPI ETO/PTO series.
