Now to sneak out.....
Ok, been playing since I got on my first plane at 7 am. Great game. Great fun and very slick UI. Looks great too. Fer $10 it's a steal.
More later.... Got a break through to exploit!

Excellent game! I was a little put off by the turn structure at first, but it works very well, and adds both tension and an extra layer of decision making. I managed to hold on for a victory in my first game as the Axis in the long scenario. The bulge was being systematically reduced when I manage to hit one of the timed victory levels. Time will tell how much replayability there is, but it's off to a good start ;D

Who wants to play a game? How do we find each other?

This is a great game. I've had 5 asynch games so far, lost 4 won 1. What a blast. Replayablility so far is great. There are lots of ways to go about things. Allies have the hardest time winning but still lots of fun to play... a real challenge.
Common, someone friend me on that darn Game Center thingy and let's play! 8)

This is a great game.
Gah...I'm trying to find excuses not to buy this, having already incurred some Xmas sales damage...this isn't helping...
I'm sure my will to resist will collapse soon enough --
Bruce Geryk excels here in his Battle of the Bulge strategy analysis post on Quarter to Three. Well worth a read.
