Damn you, Matrix Games!

It's suddenly 1 AM and I have to go to work tomorrow! Damn you! :P


Seriously though:
Much more engrossing and complex than I could have imagined - finally a true grand strategy game with the right scale (I.e, not "Oh, let's do global WWII on the company level!" ) that still manages to model *logistics* the right way. I guess it's time to finally retire my good ol' Clash of Steel (anno 1993) from the WWII grand strategy game throne. Congrats on a great job, and hope you sell more than a few copies of this one!

PS.
One caveat though: I like the graphics, but at least having 1200X1000 or so would have been nice, as I have a 22" display. A few more resolutions in a patch or so would be nice.

Another small suggestion: Add a "confirm" popup for actions that will lead to war with the US as Japan.
DS.

I couldn't have put it any better.

You guys are fast players. It took me about a week to get the basic grip on this game when we started beta, and start forming the initial opinion (which was the same as yours, but it took much more time to form [:D])

O.

Well, we sort of had a head start from reading the AAR:s and the other stuff on the forum, so it wasn't a fair fight! ;P

Still, thanks for a great job testing this thing!

plus the tutorials, how much of the manual I was able to just skim, because of those is a REAL time saver for getting into the game and knowing what you are doing. Notice that is "knowing what you are doing" and NOT "knowing what you SHOULD do". [:@]

You can read my AARs for "what you should NOT do" ;)
