Well, I think I need to add my 2 cents in here. I personally use to play wargames with Johan, he was not as good as myself.. Better at Poker.. I also remeber when we both spoke of the creation of a WW2 game, something I do not have the patience nor the know-how to create, he asked me for help. I had a complex understanding of mechanics and warfare as I'm personally in love with WW2 and all the games that ever came out for it, less tactical, more mix with strategy being the center-tactical the weaker point... In essence few know how reality and wargames relate, aside from true Generals. I've known some brass, they'd love a title like this, they don't want go home to something as complicated as work! :P When you attack him as the other Matrix Fellow described, you attacked his game, etc... you made him feel belittled and his work. Not right! If the game is too simple or too basic for you, then there are much more complex titles. I can pretty much tell, that CEAW is simplistic, easy to learn and very appealing in that. The price is standard for anything that is new! If $50.00 displeases you, wait 6 months or a year, they lower prices usually... I will wait till I can get a cheaper version or a demo... I am waiting to buy due to financial constraint, no cheapness and no detest for the title or the creator. I think Johan did something that is Amazing, he finished a book, and published it. Envious, many would be. I dreamt of creating my first wargame at 14, on the level of World in Flames, but I didn't have a grasp them to create such a thing. He has done this, and this game can advance as can the Genre of Strategic Games of WW2 if we support them. So please do not put him down, rather aide him and tell him "nicely," what you'd like. I know plenty of you from other Places, I'm Liam from SC and EU boards... Hotheaded but control your temper please, it's not like SC-CEAW-HOI-World in Flames-World at War, etc... are moneymakers... we have to HUNT them up to buy them..and all their predecessors In my experience, those who do not like you fall into two categories: the stupid, and the envious. The stupid will like you in five years time, the envious never."
