I always wondered about the name though... Isn't the second front the invasion of France that Stalin always was nagging about?

BTW the East Front is the real thing! The west front is a bit like Spain in the Napoleonic wars - basically a backyard thing that distracts from the real action.

"Backyard thing" seems just a tad harsh... Essentially accept what you are saying (The Russian Front was the land daddy in WWII and indeed ever) but, I don't think either the Peninsular or the War in the West were exactly insignificant and each played their part in the outcome in the east.

Hence my never-ending bitching about stuff like lack of manual production control that is missing in WiTE

I am happy to find that in WITE you can change aircraft type in squadrons. Sadly I cannot say the same about AFVs. Best thing is that there is an editor to change the production a bit before each game. But be carefull or you will miss some equipment later in your game. The latest patch 1.03 vrs 3 helps a lot with AC.

Yes I did buy the WITE after all.
