Best wishes,

Ben opens his turn, moves the map to the bit of the front he was worrying about earlier that day. Stares at it for a bit. Cycles through some stacks. Yep, that armoured division really isn't there any more. Scrolls over to some other areas of the front.

After about five minutes, maybe I move a unit. I wouldn't want to watch that. Instead I write traditional AARs where I talk about what happened, what I'm doing, and what is likely to happen next, accompanied by screenshots.

My time would be much better wasted playing it myself. Maybe some other folks are different for some reason. I did give it a chance, I tried watching pewpew's videos. To me it was like watching planes fly overhead.

But someone willing to try might just register himself playing, cut the video to show only the relevant parts and describe it's strategy.

It would be something like a more extended written AAR, where you can actually see the game mechanics in action.

Although I must admit that it's not so much straightforward as hitting the record button and start talking, we need a real youtuber for that

You can use other software like snag-it to show force movements. It could even draw in the 2nd guessers who can comment on bad tactics which is who you want. Negative press is good press. Traffic is everything. Just don't have thin skin like shunskin said build and they will come.

Yeah, it is relaxing and sometimes helps to feel this slowly atmosphere but is so boring at overall. So most folks rightly thinks that TOAW vids simply will dont draw enough attention and are huge wast of time. =)

Here, hear!He wrote "terribly overloaded interface". Sweet bejesus, that means when I look at the landscape it is terribly overloaded with the sight.

I mean, have your opinion any way it is, but I just couldn't have helped myself. Did I miss anything in that "terribly overloaded interface"? "In fact", of course.

TOAW LP


It got me inspired to look further into this game for possible purchase.
