The new version of RAF apparently incorporates a number of design changes, but I never played the original, so I don't know how extensive the changes are. My impression is that the combat system isn't all that different. It is indeed unusual, in that you total *all* combat factors instead of computing odds, but it works.

Joel, good for you for getting some gaming in on your honeymoon! It's supposed to be a fun trip, after all. :)

The new version is considerably better than the previous one. The biggest difference is that you can now play as Germans either solitaire or as a 2-handed HtH. In essence you get 3 games instead of the original one! The combat resolution has also improved and there are not quite as many "unusual" results. All in all I think it is pretty good and a considerable improvement on the original.

Hello everyone,

here is another uncertain WitP:AE grognard.

I've been a while keeping an eye on GGEDTBTR.
But I�m still undecided.

No demo out there - no video.

Have the posters here, especially the WitP:AE owner/lover, now a trailing thoughts about the game?
Is it worth to be purchased?
Is it worth to be played?

If you call yourself a WiTP AE grognard, it's almost safe that you're going to enjoy EDBTR as well. Especially in regard to the large campaigns with full axis production. This is another Grisgby monster title which comes closer to his latter naval simulations as any else game you could purchase.
