Gary Grigsby’s War in the West 1943-45 is the most ambitious and detailed computer wargame on the Western Front of World War II ever made. Starting with the Summer 1943 invasions of Sicily and Italy and proceeding through the invasions of France and the drive into Germany, War in the West brings you all the Allied campaigns in Western Europe and the capability to re-fight the Western Front according to your plan.

I think it might be that WiTE is just more dynamic maybe? Playing as axis on WITW is alot of form stable defensive line and hold out as long as possible then retreat, do it again. France offers more of a dynamic playstyle, but personally in always hampered by having enough guys to defend, or do an attack, and not both. Especially since the luftwaffe is largely related to defending axis industry they aren't the decisive force they were in the east. Just IMO of course

I'm becoming more active on this forum. I was doing a let's play on youtube, but got waxed. Embarrassingly. But that means the AI is not a pushover. I'm more experienced at the Ageod games which I have always had a love/hate relationship, more love though.

If one purchases the current War in the West version, and learns to play it, will it help one be "ahead of the curve" when the new War in the East version is released later this year, or next year? Thank you for your consideration and time concerning this matter.

On the activity topic, perhaps the War in the East version is more popular because it is easier, or that the Axis are preparing for their potential zenith, or both reasons. Or for none of these.

yes - in the sense that WiTE2 is based on substantive developments of the logistics and air war model in WiTW and is a near complete break to WiTE1.

In effect if you get used to the air game in WiTW it'll give you a good handle on WiTE2 but the automation approach is very different there. Logistics much the same, its a recognisable iteration but its also very different.

To put this in context, the draft WiTE2 manual has 2-3 pages of 'key differences to WiTW' as part of trying to orientate players who have played WiTW.

WitE 2 is and will be quite different from WitE 1 indeed. And in my opinion, quite a lot better.
