Congratulations! For what it matters, the guarantee of a Steam key at a later date was a big factor in the day 1 purchase for me.

Just curious, what's a War in the East player's recommended tactical PC games?

The sheer complexity of the game was evident to me via a couple of late beta videos, although I had hoped to be led and propped up like the noob baby I am and in this regard it was a little disappointing the training videos were not included as per the manual. However, I accept that the community will inevitably step forward to produce some video tutorials and in the meantime will follow what is already there and accept that I will probably have to burn a lot of hours to get a basic grounding in how to play the game. Anyway, it just feels right to support this product, even if it takes me a while to actually play it.

Status: offline 		Yes, we should all hope they sell many more copies than expected and support what is now a very niche hobby. Having played other MMP games, and talked to players on TS, 90% have no idea about games like this, and sometimes you find that "one person" who is willing to see the larger picture, and not just drive a tank around. These guys are not doing this for the money, but for the love of the subject matter.

My magic triangle is :
- WitX for theater warfare
- CommandOps2 for Corps-sized to Division-sized warfare (indeed let's you see what happens when you make a deliberate attack in WitX)
-SteelPanther for Tactical warfare (let's you see what happens when those small counters make a lot of funky noises in CommandOps2)

...and I don't play individual level (sorry World of Tanks)


I feel this magic triangle addresses all the different levels of ww2.
(at least on the ground)

I also have WitE and WitW. Played surprisingly little both.
