Extremely good game especially if you are used with this classic AGEOD like engine. Played 40+ hours since release.

Superb and friendly DEVS as well. Listening and patching quickly.

I have to agree. I previously had gushed a bit about SGS Korean War and was rightfully put in my place regarding the Air Phase of that game.

This one too has its idiosyncrasies. But it such a sweeping monster of a game. Lots of counters in the big scenarios, but certainly less that WitE. I may be playing this one for a long time - at least until I fully understand it!

Best wishes to all.

I did not intend to do anything more than point out my issues with the Air Defense mode in certain games. I did not want to condemn the whole game engine just because I don't understand the mechanic and because it is tedious in certain games. Rosseau, I apologize.

NATO's Nightmare has 2 levels. One is a basic level with a reduced counter total and the other is the advanced game with lots of counters and more complicated game mechanics. The advanced one is truly a monster but they promise small scenarios will be added in the future.

I have been playing around with the Korean War game and will learn the Air Defense mechanic as I get more experience. I actually did buy N's N and I am extremely impressed with it.

Korean game is not bad because of air phase I think more about AI problems. Their latest patch doesn't seem to adress it.

How do you rate AI? I think for a 15 turn game it has some agenda this time.

I bet it will be very difficult to have an AI able to handle all decisions it must in a game on this scale.

Technically game runs very smooth even in card phase with so much counters. Which wasn't the case in Taiping&Korean game. In first turn reinforcements are not auto deployed but by the player it is so much about replay ability. So far so good.
