Ratings and reviews

Constant crashes. Announcement from 2022 stated a patch. Almost 2 years later (depending on month) and has crashed everytime but once. How 'bout that patch? Besides that I would give it almost 4 stars. Can't report a problem because my email (which was used to purchase the game) is insufficient to allow me to progress through the report process? Great game. Unfortunately the follow through with the patch/crashing/reporting an issue leaves much to be desired.

It lets industrial centers without anti aircraft batteries shoot down bombers. It did it to me 4 turns in a row strategic bombing Moscow while it didn't have an AA gun to do so. Tank units blitz ability also isn't universally applicable. You can blitz through as US or UK, & it's still German controlled. It's almost like the developers were unaware of the rules of the board game they were developing. I'd give this 0 stars if I could.

A very good simulation of the board game, though the version I played as a kid (first edition) didn't have cruisers, destroyers, or artillery and did have research for new technologies. My only complaint is that the AI isn't challenging. It makes remarkably stupid moves. I seldom lose the game as the Allies- only when the Eastern front, Air War and Pacific war ALL have bad rolls. In other words, I lost about one time in thirty. I usually can win in 8-12 turns
