Find your 1.0 install because 1.2 will be out soon.

Are you going to review it Bismarck?

Bismarck

Indeed. I wanted to review 1.0 but the updates just kept on coming. There was updates through 1.01 to 1,09, then a large 1.1 and then stepwise up to 1,19 beta 3. Now we'll have a comprehensive 1.2.  Hard to review a moving target. I like to wait until the devs are happy.

I would like to ask in your reviews, and this isn't directed at you personally, but for everyone that does a review, to make some comments about the learning curve of a game.  I realize it's relative, but after following a reviewer for awhile, and getting the games he recommends, you develop a feel for the veracity of his comments.

I never did pick this game up (learn it), and finally uninstalled it.  I'm going to give it another go once they get the update out the door.  Seems like a lot of game, and I know NWS and developer really worked hard on it.  I want to like it, but it never really clicked with me.

I agree about the moving target of the updates.

I often mention learning curve explicitly but that should come through in the description of the game.

If only they did a download version.  That's the only reason why I haven't bought this yet.  I've read the manual and all already. :)

Once the update hits, I think I'll give this a try again.

Any hints on how to overcome the learning curve?

Can I put in my vote for a download version also?

I'd snap it up in a heartbeat.

I'm a bit weary of having to pay duty charges etc.

I would definitely like to read a post patch review.  This is one of those games I've looked at a dozen times but can't quite figure out if its one I'd like or not.

I hope the patch makes a difference as well.  I never could get into this game...and I like pretty much everything...
