As an addict of the board game version of La Grande Guerre (which is, by far, the best and most comprehensive WWI board game available), I can say that the computer game appears, so far, to be a very faithful (almost identical) treatment of the original board game. The main difference being the area-based map, which is hex-based in the LGG board game. That said, LGG is an acquired taste. It is not an "action" game at all. There are entire seasons where little combat takes place at all, but when lots is going on in diplomacy, politics, and the economic/production side of the game. This is World War I, not WWII, so the action is slower, and success is often based on patient build up of supplies (RP/Mun), improved technologies, events, and improved tactics as the game goes on. On balance, once some obvious interface and stability bugs are addressed, I think this will be a great game. That said, I share the frustration of many with some of the clearly stupid bugs in the original release.
