Looks good! I plan to pick this one up after Xmas, wallet willing.
Good first taste..... should get people watered up to play and more.....
How hard is it to pick up on the system? I have always wanted to get one of Ron's games but it always looked like to much work learning the system.

It's really not that much work. It's just a very different UI. Once you play a couple of scenarios it's easy to play and push counters around and fight. But there is a learning curve to the deeper logic of how to fight well. It requires a bi of trial and error to see how all the parts work together. But again after a few plays you get that feel and can have some real fun.
The AI is good for learning the game. It puts up a reasonable defence and can be good at offense as well, especially in the East Front scenarios.
Well worth the time and money.
More coming on the weekend. ;)

Thanks. I don't mind not being able to play a game well but I hate not being able to work the interface. I might give this one a shot, since it looks like it will eventually cover everything.
Did you check out the intro video that Ron Dockal made?

Not yet. It's somewhat long so I need to find the time to do it.
