I think you're missing the point.
It isn't whinging for whinging sake and it certainly isn't to get people "on board" and agree....the point of discussing it is to tell the developers and the publishers that the price point and content do not match.
I bought Kharkov and thought it was a complete waste of money. As much as I want to give them another chance, I'm not doing so at the current price.
It's directed solely at them...no one else...if you bought it and you enjoy it, excellent...no-one is trying to make you hate it.
It's about the consumer telling the supplier about the seeming error of their ways. You have exactly the same right. You can keep popping in every now and again telling people how good it is. You never know, the devs and publishers might hear your voice before they hear that of the nay-sayers.
Matrix know fine and well how this game has sold. They will be able to determine if it was worth it or not.
If the game didn't sell well and people didn't post their reasons, then Matrix would not have a clue why it didn't sell.
As it is, people are letting them know.
And to reiterate, in case they didn't hear...for me (not you or anyone else....me) the price point and content are not worth the purchase...which is £40 ($80)for me!
To be quite frank...I think if Matrix took a gamble and dropped $10 off this game, it would fly. But they aren't going to, so that's a moot point.
And by the way, there are far more "lurkers" on here whinging about content and price than there are people "bigging" the game up. Your time would be better spent starting a thread about how good the game is and pointing out the reasons why a purchase is required...because as it is, you're just wasting your time whinging about people whinging...go figure. 
You definitly have very strong opinions across the board, game content, pricing. I don't agree with you on game content, and I am not sure how the overseas pricing works. Seems your point is you are making your criticisms to Matrix for greater good. You say you do not want to effect anyones positive viewpoint on the game, and that is good and fine. One thing I would like to point out is your opinions do effect people who may be happy with the way the game system is progressing. You have every right to express your opinions, and I like to hear everyones viewpoint, but lets not be under the illusion that it can only effect certain people.
My personal opinion is I am really enjoying the game. I am not "bigging" up the game, because I think, and as others have posted, that content speaks for itself. I am not a professional game reviewer, but I have played wargames for a long time, and I know what I like.
Not sure how my opinion affects people who are enjoying the game or are happy with the engine going the way it does. As far as I can evaluate, my opinion on the game being too expensive for one 16 turn scenario would possibly affect people who were going to lay out the money for the game but then discover, through my post, that it's only got one scenario and it's only 16 turns long and it's price is over £40.
However, I am, as you pointed out, purely trying to tell devs and publishers that should they have reduced the price of this item, it may would have sold better....I know that for an absolute fact...because I would've purchased it.
Also, as I mentioned, there seem to be more people on here complaining about the price and content than there are suggesting the game is magnificent. Kind of odd.
