Can't wait for this one.  I really like how the other theaters are represented so the full war in Europe is actually being acounted for outside the playspace on the eastern front.  I for one never enjoy managing the Finnish front in these games, so I'm very happy to see that front streamlined into the full European war.
A War of a Madman's Making - a text-based war planning and political survival RPG

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.
- Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian


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.

I'm unsure whether I just dreamt this.

But I have a memory, reality or dream? that it's been said that one aim of EFx2 was to later expand to fully incorporate managing the West Front too.

The greyed out enlarged map covering the west and North Africa looks like that may end up being the case.

The fact they added roads to the logistical/movement layers means it now has the ability to work on western front, both before and after Barbarossa.  Maybe as DLC's that add new theaters.

OHHH... That would be a Rabbit-Hole I would happily dive into.

I guess I would play an integrated WitW and WitE2 when I get bored with the simplicity of War in the Pacific...   ;)

Is that the case with the new game - frankly I like the extra dimension of the finish front so bit disappointed to hear its an abstract in the new game ..
"you are the rule maker, the dictator, the mini- Stalin, Mao, Hitler, the emperor, generalissimo, the MAN. You may talk the talk and appear to be quite easy going to foster popularity, but to the MAN I say F*CK YOU." And Steve G is F******g rude ? Just another day on the BF forum ... one demented idiots reaction to BF disagreeing about the thickness of the armour on a Tiger II turret mantlet.

The latest dev talk vid that talked about this. Roughly saying, they wanted Finland, but the war there was sufficiently different to be a bridge too far for release. And they said "maybe a dlc"
I suspect it's a fairly low-hanging-fruit dlc for them to go for early ish.

Matrix needs a US shipping center.

It is one thing that we pay so much, but letting it all go to the post office instead of the developers is a waste.

Yep definitely  !

Strategygaming Dojo on You Tube has been given an advance copy and has just begun one of his excellent tutorial  series on the new game .

My only decision now is whether to play it from tomorrow  or wait until my hardback 5 kilo manual arrives sometime after the 16th April .......

I was going to wait until my anniversary coupon came but the wife is going to Vegas with a friend next week so I'll probably pop for this so I have some unfettered time to explore it.  Coupon can go to WarPlan Pacific.

You can buy more than one game with the coupon as long as you buy them all at the same time.
