Heh. If memory serves, the AH version of EiA received a 9 on AH's 10-point complexity scale (with the 10'ers including 'The Longest Day', which is apparently a multi-board game dealing with the Allied invasion of Normandy, and 'Flat Top', which is a Pacific carrier-war game). It's a complicated game.

The Longest Day was a much easier game to play, but it was a real "Monster Game" in size and number of counters. Flat Top also was a simpler game to understand though it had detailed combat resolutions and many enhanced way to play. The EIA boardgames is a monster game with multilevel strategy and it also requires good diplomacy skills. Generally, the first thing that were out was the rule book (this was before PDF copies etc.) The rule book while id did not have that many pages it was in very small print. (Oh, for the days when I could read that with out glasses). I really like PDF and big display panels.
