My thoughts are this. The basis is WW1, and the kewl thing is that unlike a lot of games, you setup your units the way you would like, so you're not locked into history. The though limitations of what you have are there it gives you a level of freedom there. The games weaknesses are that is has a drab point and click interface, but that's about it, that also means some arrow keys where I'd prefer mouse dragging, some overclicking, that could be streamlined in a patch or two. They Modded a nice map and Unit Icon...Beyond that the money into this title went into the simplicity of detail and realism. I do not like fictional games, this has a real feel to it... The interface to me though I'm not a usual Matrix fan is at least Refreshing and new, unlike other games I've played. Lastly, Diplomacy is basic and that's not a mainpoint. There is usual penalties for DOWing and usual timeframe for Nation entries, unless you alter them. Which you can choose to do. You can spend points per turn for each side to draw Minors/Majors to either neutral or active faster. Really just another point for strategy...that's pretty neat... slightly more realistic than some... You cannot totally buy yourself Diplomacy in other words... I personally thought the AI was a waste but there is plenty of PBEM. The game is entertaining and you will get the feel of the Trenches in this as it's the only real WW1 game I've played other than Victoria from Paradox, I'm not the most avid gamer of the era to advise you. I did not like Risk and it's not Risklike to me at all... Much more Detailed and indepth! :) welcome if you choose if not, hope I could help P.S. This is I believe the best Hexagon wargame I've played in several years
