ORIGINAL: Maglio
I saw it with my eldest son during our summer holydays (January and February here in the southern hemisphere), and in English (That is not our language), the idea is to expose him to English and to good, historically accurate and well produced movies.
He was amazed and ecstatic about it, He's 14 and from a generation used to spectacular special effects and CGI. Now he's asking for more and we have watched since then Battle of Midway, Sink the Bismarck, Patton, In which we serve, the Dam Busters and Zulu.
The result is that now he cares more to read about the facts of the story told in the movie, about the acting and how the story is unfolded.
I must say that I´m quite proud of him, and is really rewarding to share with him my interest in military history.
The downside is that he doesn´t care about WITP.
At 14 the game would be intimidating. Too complex and too many rules. Give him a couple of years. I could handle SPI monster games at 14, but those were simple compared to WITP-AE.
Alternatively, you could pay him a modest amount of money to play. It would keep him away from girls and beer -- the real goals of most 14 year old boys.
Regards,
Feltan
