Looks like Vassal to me.

Well it would look a bit like that as its the same game - but that looks like a computer version to me.
Looks like they have done a decent job on it. Jeez - going to have to get it now.

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.

Those pictures were on the computer game version's product page, so my assumption is they are from the computer game, unless they are pulling a fast one:)

I don't know - there seems to have been one guy who had a problem, then a lot of people who obviously don't have the game saying that's terrible, then a few people who do have the game saying they don't see what the problems are.

tis a bit rush to judgement. I bought it and just had notification its on its way so will make up my own mind when I get it.

Is there a shipping delay for a downloadable game?

I just installed and ran it. I've never played the physical version so I have no idea of what's going on. The comments about no documentation are silly- you get rules (a couple of sets for some reason), color charts and example plays. As far as how it looks, it looks like Vassal but better. You even get basic fire animations and explosions.
The interface. Well, it is a bit odd but not terribly bad. Moving around the map is easy. You can left-click and drag the map and the mouse wheel zooms in and out. The interface does feel dated but it's not enough to make me not want to play.
I did experience one crash but I clicked on something I probably shouldn't have. It was the US turn and I clicked on some German arrow thingy. It didn't like that. :P I'm sure there are bugs in the game but if DG listens to feedback and patches it shouldn't be a problem.
One thing I don't like is it looks like you can't save a game at any point. When you quit it seems your game is saved automatically for you and you can continue it (or load another one) when you start again.
So far, and it is very early, I don't feel like I've wasted $25. I will read the rules and try to learn/play the game some more and post more feedback.
