Downloading it now. I hope my aging brain can wrap itself around this game. Second Front and Western Front were two of my favorite games back in the day, but my attention span isn't quite what it used to be.

Any suggestions on what I should do first once it is finished and installed?

Its probably easier playing the AXIS as you dont have as much admin stuff to do...

I am about to turn 59 and you are in for a great experience and challenge if you have come up through the same school I did. And yes, beware, you may become addicted...

I found the system difficult and different from other games at first. I recommend playing smaller scenarios from both sides several times. I hopelessly lost the smallest scenario as the Germans (Road to Minsk?) the first two times I tried.

Read the manual, then maybe a second or third time. One little section or sentence can explain a problem a player will have with the game, and it takes concentration to notice it in the manual.

Thank you all for your feedback! I am sure I will be back soon with many "How do you...?" questions.
