Just trying to gauge some thoughts on the new update!

Is the update all of what you wished for and expected along this long road to an excellent game?

Many of the changes will only be seen in the long term - for example, the impact of the morale and experience changes will only be seen when the Axis come out the other side of the blizzard, hopefully fitter and stronger than we have seen heretofore.

It may also be a while before we see how much the swamp defences have softened and how much pressure can be applied to Leningrad.

Righto!

It really does show the difference between this game, and others. Most patches these days repair the obvious, the aesthetics- but this one helps the mechanics.

Nice...
And most of all in 2011- it takes time- its not immediate- there is something old world about that.

cheers.

The game is already excellent...while the quip is long on sarcasm?

I can see where you're coming from here...

How about- An already excellent game on the long road to perfection?

Personally I've yet to break the shell on this new updated version, but I am looking forward to sitting down with a beer or two and knocking some holes through Soviet lines when time permits.

The more you drink though, the more daring are the Panzer commanders!
