It's not too bad, but it's very unpolished. The level of accuracy they shoot for in the units is extreme, so they really only get them close for the big players. I mean they actually have it down to how many men per tank x how many tanks per unit = manpower required to build and stuff like that. Obviously, the icons are not so precise. Even the Nagato looks like an Iowa. Some are pretty good though.

And because it's basically Supreme Ruler 2020 brought back in time with some events added and stuff it's a bit clear that it's not suited to WW2 in various ways. For some reason I do like the engine though. The economic model is fairly complex. Much better than HOI in that way. Much more potential. Lots of complexity.

Thanks.

Think I'll leave it for the time being, maybe if there is a game shortage later in the year....

Though I see more books are available by the publisher on mobile, and cheaper. Starhsip Traveller. :wub: It was my first choose your own adventure book, and for a while friends and I became mildly obsessed with them. I enjoyed none as much as the Lone Wolf series, though, with its beautiful maps and epic storyline.

I always cursed that i was too young to have got those when they were contemporary and had to hunt them down second hand. Lone wolf was amazing

I think they'd have more traction with a Nato/WP 1985ish. :(

They don't do alt-history.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017
