INTENSE, DYNAMIC, and ACCURATE?  Glad it's not just two of the three!

Joking aside this looks quite interesting and I like the way the graphics change based on the zoom level.

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.

If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.

I guess it's sort of nice that the word "tactical" seems to refer to some kind of seriousness during your moments of mental clarity.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

"Accurate" > models show long-barrelled Panzers in 1941 and early 1942.

I wonder what this will offer that other games don't, but it's clear that the designer is passionate about the project.

After a focus on other fronts by most developers, a number of games covering the fighting in North Africa have been released in recent years. I wonder if this can stand out amongst the others.

Would be good to see a good game on the theatre as its a great subject. Developing technology over the course of the campaign, varied commanders & forces, a very fluid strategic & operational situation & a big role for supply - IMO all the ingredients for a great wargame (though I'll still play the Legend Begins board game!)
