Ratings and reviews

Still somewhat a work in progress in some ways, but is really great, as expected from the developer who gave us Pacific and Blitz fire. The mission editor is a nice touch. I accidentally submitted a mission that wasn't quite ready - a mission editing tutorial might be a good idea. Also feel that Submarines do not play as massive a role as they should in later years of the game - in comparison to the real Cold War era. I am confident the Developer will only improve this as time goes on. WWI next?

I've been keeping up with all the updates and games, always giving props to the improvements and engagement of the creator with his reviewers. Always on top of the suggestions being made and what's planned. He's put in the ones I wanted back when only pacific fire was out. I guess the only thing I can think of to request would maybe be some form of prisoner swap diplomacy that can quickly replenish units or get new regiments formed. Obviously don't know how well or if it can be implemented.

I love this game. This is everything I wanted from the previous games and more. You can either have a difficult strategy based game. Or you can have an easy walk-through. Make your own scenario up fun. I would however like to do more with ground troops and I'm hoping that is added into future updates. You definitely get more bang for your buck when you buy this game.
