been following this since i saw it first posted, and my only thoughts on, being one of the early testers on it, is,.... why not? there are others of the same type, WITE, WITW, WITP etc, but if you already own any of these, then your already into epic games and struggles, which this is just the latest and imo the best version to date. for a short answer [&o][&o][&o]

I own all three of those titles, and I suspect warspite1 own them as well. And I am pretty sure that neither of us have played them. So that might be a reason to not get the latest game of that type.

Thanks to those who made meaningful contributions to this thread - whether for or against. I have decided to pull the trigger and will be attempting a game with AllenK as soon as we get SCWaW finished. I hope it proves more successful than WITP-AE, but am encouraged by what Zovs and Loki have said in particular about being able to automate a lot of 'stuff' and then being able to change settings as and when comfortable to do so. I don't know which side I will be yet - but am looking forward to getting started and will be doing an AAR.

It's answered with a question mark as I can't say that with any certainty as I haven't tried the game yet. But its a good proxy based on how long I lasted with WITP-AE.

Even with the AI-help, the superbly written manual ([8D]) and the very neat one page guides there is too much going on to get much out of it as a first go. Use the Road to Leningrad scenario as a test bed, its (rightly) hard for the Axis to get beyond a draw but you are moving say 20-25 counters a turn, the air war is fairly linear and if it goes wrong ... well restart with no great time commitment

altipueri -> RE: Why should I buy WITE2? (5/9/2021 10:23:54 AM)
No. Go for the full 41 campaign as the Russians. And don't read the manual, that's a form of cheating. Net result? - I lost after half a turn. No sooner did I press go or play and without even being able to look at the map I was under attack and my poor little laptop whirred and puffed for about 15 minutes of processing. So I started up another laptop and played nice Ageod's AJE - Birth of Rome instead. Will try again after my manual arrives.

quote: ORIGINAL: warspite1 in order to try and understand what the hell is going on [:)] before getting the campaign underway. This has always worked for me: do follow real life high level commanders (Stavka, OKH). Knowing what they did is always a plus. As a Soviet, during Barbarossa, my advice: do NOT stack, avoid thick carpet spamming behind the frontline, use consecutive defensive lines. Fight and survive (many will be left behind, it's the price you need to pay). Concentration and economy of forces that is. With thick carpets and stacking you won't have the latter [;)]

wodin -> RE: Why should I buy WITE2? (5/11/2021 10:53:30 AM)
because you like Wargames and are infact a Wargamer.

Zovs -> RE: Why should I buy WITE2? (5/11/2021 11:49:37 AM)
Don't forgot the 1 page guides very helpful. Also, you don't have to read the entire manual front to back. I think you can use F5 and search for whatever step/phase or place your at and just read on that for you need to know, that way you can slowly build up without overloading your self. Really good idea on doing the small scenarios first to get the hang / feel.

quote: ORIGINAL: warspite1 Come on guys, sell it to me. First thing's first though, because this is a deal-breaker (regardless of whether the game is good or not); is it like WITP-AE where the font of so much key information is written so that it looks like you are viewing Pluto using a telescope the wrong way round? I am a gentleman of a certain age. I want to play a wargame. I don't want a headache after five minutes of intense squinting. Thank-you. Well, the truth is only sissy bois play WITE1 these days...

Well, if you should decide to buy, then make sure to order the physical version like I did. Take a look... [X(] My new manual
