But that is just my opinion and we all know everyone has one and YMMV.

Yeah I am too. Started in the late 70's and progressed to Computer Games in the 80's. Still like the old vintage feel of the new map. As you say my opinion.

Status: offline 		I still play board war games and in fact have played the following titles with my 14 and 10 year old (my 19 and 21 year old never got hooked); Across the Suez, Waterloo, Chancellorsville, Napoleon at Waterloo, Blue & Grey Quad, NAW Quad, 100 Years War Quad, D-Day, Afrika Corps and a few others, currently my 14 year old is playing ASLSK (Advanced Squad Leader Starter Kit) since I have a regular face to face weekly ASL meeting I attend to.

I am a hoarder, and still have my 400+ board war games out in the garage 'hidden' away from my wife, lol, she still thinks I have 40 from when we first met, since I rotate them in and out, and she does not pay attention to the dates, since she thinks most of the companies and people (except me of course) or dead or crazy, so I can just say oh, I have had that game for years dear.

Hell I still have SPI's original War in the East (both 1st and 2nd editions) and I got the old Moves 1-60 or something like that and all the old Generals.

Anyway, GG WitE is the best of the best.

Nice! Now that's a pair of old grog badges of honor.

After one too many moving vans, and wifey-driven consolidation efforts, I now have a carton of GDW pieces & parts...a veritable wargamer's stew of game counters, maps, charts and rules--all mixed together. Next spring I plan to organize all of it...just like I planned to do last year...and the year before.

Status: offline 		Yeah, not liking the DMP map. The trees are not consistent - it's hard to tell the light from the heavy forest, the swamps are very hard to notice, the city "images" are very intrusive, and there's tons of artifacts, especially along the rivers.

B+ for effort but a C for execution.

With people creating some great high quality mods it can only enrich the whole community, whether people prefer to play stock or with mods.
