Yes. Its the best operational wargame going. Unlimited replay value, especially when you do PBEM. No two PBEM game turn out the same. Your op plan will work against some players and fail totally if you're not careful against others.

You also get the Ardennes Offensive scenario with the main Overlord Battleset. Two free battles are available at Run5 (Kalach Bridge and Kursk). Four games for the price of one!

Go ahead!

Each PBEM is completely different from another one,so you can replay the game everlastingly without getting bored and I have already played a dozen PBEM and will continue

I adore this game.

Had just to correct some mispelling city names through the editor...

PS: 2gaulle I am still waiting for your turn...

Sorry guys, the best operational wargame is currently Airborne Assault:Highway to the Reich.

More seriously, I do agree with most posters : BiN is a very good game, robust, well made, well designed, with a lot of replay value. It is very easy to play but has a lot of depth. The AI is quite good also.

If you like operational battle games with units such as regiments, you will love this game. The only thing I can off hand think of to make it better would be more scenairos.

Hey Marky - check out my post. I am selling my copy of the game and if you want to check it out, you can save a few $$.
