Nice review Jim. I don't enitrely agree with your opinon of the map graphics (but again, I LIKE the graphics of 10-15 years ago).

I do too, but most people don't so I had to mention them. I could/should have said that the simple graphics aid in scenario creation and is thus a boon to PBEM. Ach, the things we think of after the fact!!!

Status: offline 		You're correct of course, it seems a lot of people find the map grahics plain. I actually find them more than adequate, and better than many. I can fairly easily distinguish what the landscape is from the map, which seems to get harder to do as the maps become more "stylized".

Thanks,
Rick

Status: offline 		I must confess I find the map graphics a little bland. But does it spoil my enjoyment of this excellent game? NO. Only fair to mention it in a review as am sure some will disagree.

Status: offline 		Your review was the last review I read before purchasing this game. After reading about 5 reviews (including yours) over the last few months about this game I noticed that they all say good things, and they all say it's a must buy for any wargamer, so it better be good!

Status: offline 		Other than the graphics and the odd unnecessary click, be sure to come back here and let us know if you don't like it. Almost every day I think of or come across good things I didn't mention. For example, I'm playing an amphibious game now. The game captures the essence of the pacific war without getting extremely detailed.

Be sure to join a ladder.
