I've seen some of the YouTube's so far and it looks pretty playable already, I'd imagine it can't be far off.  I'd even go for early access on this one if it was in the plan.

even after improving the Ai could not capture the hill before turn 12.

Looks great but I will wait until UK and Commonwealth forces added

Personally, I'll be buying this on launch day even if the only playable forces are Finland and China.   8)

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.

Good for you ;)   I understand why developers do this for sales reasons so I dont blame him :)

Just it is way too common in WWII games for the Brits and Commonwealth that were in it from the start to be left out initially

Yeah! If that is your standard, what about the Japanese? Their army was rampaging around in the 1930s way before anyone else even fired a shot.  :crazy2:

The Soviets were in early. Khalkhin Gol - May to Sep '39

Anyway, everyone who has been around wargaming for any length of time knows the commercial hierarchy of WWII theaters. Eastern Front is always on top. European theaters where the Brits and Commonwealth fought are the next tier down, while the East Asian/Pacific theaters they fought in are on the bottom.

But back to the game. I assume that if it is commercially successful, the game will see expansions and DLC for other theaters and nationalities.

I appreciate that the devs are taking their time to get this right. If they do get it right...the Brit/Commonwealth expansion can't be far behind.

In the US my impression is that the WWII western front was always tops.

And in reverse chronological order- Bulge, then D-Day, then North Africa/Italy, and then Blitzkrieg/Fall of France.
