It is rare to find a good F2P game that isn’t handicapped because of the business model.

…still have to keep an open mind and give the developer a fair chance to proof themselves.

Status: offline 		Yes, I feel slightly apprehensive too. However, I believe the devs have already said that there will be DLC's and cosmetics for troops, but nothing 'pay to win'. We shall have to wait and see, but I find the subject matter irresistible. For those that don't, the first DLC will be the US Civil War.

Status: offline 		Way back in the 70s I wrote a paper on the Franco-Prussian War for a graduate level history class, mainly because I knew nothing about that war. I took a look at the game and don't like the idea of micro-transactions for cosmetic additions. I stay clear of any game with in-game purchases. I can deal with cheap DLCs for cosmetic additions.

What? Who wrote that stuff?
