World War II Europe
Patch version 1.0.8 Content
1. The combat markers and temporary markers are now reset at the end of each turn.
2. Added list of Russian airfields on Turn 1 in scenario #42 to the Help file.
3. AF of less than zero is displayed as zero.
4. Display OOB has three options. Mouse left click selects the unit and centers the low level map on it. Mouse right click

5. Fixed bug on Naval Supply ops, Axis only, scenarios 3,4,8,10,11,12,26-32,33-41 and 101.
6. Changed AI self imposed limit from one Naval S&D op per hex to three. Ensures coverage of key areas.

map where unti will be coming in.
14. Fixed weather bug on North Africa scenarios that prevented supply ops sometimes.
15. Naval combats that result in a ship sunk due to combat losses being greater or equal to DF is not listed as "sunk"
on the report.

WoW. Thats huge.

Is this the game without an AI?

EDIT: Nope. Says AI included. Hmmm.

I have always been tempted by this one (even their middle eastern game), but seems like this has been in development for years without end in sight. To be fair though, it is a one person team and is including a ton of scenarios (100+), makes me wonder if they should have just released with a portion of that and offered the remaining as DLC. I could be wrong, but the big campaign scenarios haven't been done yet so would like to see at least a couple of them first.

Some day I will get it since I like the look of it.

Just to let you know 2 campaigns are available. North Africa 1940-1943, and East Front Blitz 1941. THe others are still in development.

That's a good start....still concerned about the rest and their delivery dates.....but some day will buy this.

Including those campaigns named above I count 66 playable scenarios.

Out of the 103 planned:)

I really think they should have planned less for the initial release...that was pretty ambitious for one man show.

For the price of admission there's a lot of meat on the bone. I haven't sunk a lot of time into it yet. I like the phased play and the map and counters are fine to me, they tell me what I need to know. The UI is a bit clicky and the map scrolling is brutal for me, that is the thing that makes me scream. I wonder if it's just me or does it scroll terrible for everyone. After following it for awhile 60 scenarios was my buy point, now I just have to dedicate some time to it.......like so many other games I own.

Can't disagree and that's why I mentioned they should have limited the official release scenarios to something manageable versus 100+..then offer the rest in DLC bundles. But seems like this release strategy gives the appearance of the game being incomplete, which makes people like me hesitate...and as we all know, I love throwing money at games:)

Incomplete is an accurate assessment it's early access like for sure. When it's done its a hell of a value, even if no more then what is currently available gets added I wouldn't be too disappointed as I don't really play the monster sized scenarios. You just don't see all the theaters represented in any one product anymore, seems like DLC is already planned even before the initial release of games these days , so I applaud the ambition and wanted to support that and history shows he'll get there sooner or later.

Yep, don't get me wrong...I applaud the developer for wanting to include this all and not make us all pay for it. As for early access, I think this was supposed to be released in full a year or so ago, with roughly 40 scenarios to go (including a number of campaigns), just seems like the "official" release is still years away based on current output. Again, this is not meant to deter anyone from buying, seems like it could be good, just a different opinion on release strategy and how one potential buyer like myself is viewing it.
