The only reasons that I can think of is that you want to give your support (have done that for some smaller titles but not necessary here). Because you want more games you will never play (at £60 - no I definitely don't want that!). Because you want more Eastern Front games (nope). Because you want more games with all the details included (yes - so long as it has the right mix of fun and playable). Because you want more games with limited naval warfare (not really too much of an issue with the Eastern Front).

Thanks for the replies. I never could get into WITP-AE. Clearly a great game (given its dedicated following). It should have been perfect due to its naval theme. But I just could not get past the number of things I had to do, buttons I had to press and clicks I needed to make, just to put some aircraft on a carrier.

So next question.

Does this game require the player (or recommend a player) to use a spreadsheet?

If you are an accountant you might like it. [;)]

For the most part it's very well done. There are only two things that put me off. Combat as movement in a ugoigo game is total BS. One week turns denies response time for the Soviet player. If it were North Africa one week turns would be fine. But it's not.

But then variety is the spice of life. Some like Haggis. So don't. [:D]

Last question - and a pretty important one.

I never know how to check the requirements of a game with what my computer can do.

Anyone know how I check my computer specs please?

Thank-you.

Oh? If I state that I will post a rebel flag, you assume that I am referring to a rebellion that occurred in the 1860's in the United States of America and not a different rebellion in that country nor someplace such as the British Isles. When I post a flag that is not from that rebellion that you assumed, then you appear to be an . . .

Ye, stupid questions have been asked twice.

So you don't appear to believe in an education where you can learn by reading and observing others.

Just remember what Jorge Santayana said about that.
