Hey Guys, I am in a WWI mood, and about to head off on a two week vacation
I will have plenty of time to do gaming, and was thinking very seriously about this one.
Anyone have any experience with it? Also, I have seen a few comments regarding long turn processing time, but have not had much time to investigate.
I would be playing on the 13 inch screen of my new Yoga Pro2 Ultrabook (4 MB RAM, not the SSD but rather 500 GB HD) running Windows 8.1
Does anyone have any insight on how the game might display on that type of screen, or how turn processing times might be on that rig?
Based on the fact that I am going to take some heat from the wife for spending money on a computer game prior to going on vacation, I want to make sure that whatever I buy is going to be worth it, enjoyable, and perform well enough on that machine that I can use it.
Thanks for any input.

Personally I think it an excellent game. Has some nice depth and every turn has interesting decisions.
I agree with Zulu. AI is challenging and multiplayer is fun too.
Yep! Good game.
I'd wonder about the screen resolution support on such a small one. What resolution does it run at natively?
It runs okay on my 15" laptop screen @ 1366X768, last I checked, but yours may use a smaller one. Not sure how small it can go.
I really enjoy it too, even PBEM. Not sure how it would look on a 13" monitor though...
I recently purchased Commander the Great War and the only complaint I have about it is that the hotkey function to cycle through units (Page Up & Page Down) does not work. According to this post (http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3213531&mpage=1�), it is a bug that is supposed to be fixed by the 1.5 patch.

There is a 1280x720 listed in the settings.
I also enjoyed the game. If you get it, I understand that you shouldn't bother with the railway cannon research.
