Checked out the AAR

Post by wodin »

Just checked out the AAR and I must say there are a hole host of new things since KP.

Lots of Info boxes which I love and seems far more involved than KP. KP tended to erm......simplify things however BiI has loads more info/chrome and more things to consider and do in a turn.

Im goig to buy when I have some spare money.

I never bough BiN as Ive played enough Normandy games. I also felt that maybe the fight was a little one sided.

Here we have a game where the Germans can give as good as they get. A much more even fight......am I right??

I agree completely. I passed on BiN but got BiI a few days ago. Much better than KP.

You will not be dissapointed with BII. I have BIN and still enjoy it, but in my opinion, this one is much better. Also the add on scenarios that are already out are awsome. This is a hard one to turn off. [:D]

Yes you are, it's really an even struggle and there is alot more maneuvering than you would think. It's great from both perspectives and i have always been biased to the Axis side. Buy it Wodin, you won't be sorry[;)].
