Very nice homage to Panzer General et al. It plays very much like the original, but with several improvements. It has so many more units, the maps are larger and the units actually can move around.

The game plays much like the old Avalon Hill board games like Russian Front. The graphics are excellent and it is much easier to recognize which units are which, the spaces between battles etc.

A seeming flaw is that units firing their last round of ammo tend to inflict no casualties. This has occured several times, I especially have noted air units inflicting no casualties with the final ammo. Everything else works like a normal combat, but the attacking and defending units both recieve no casualties.

An excellent game and very playable in a reasonable amount of time. The save button is a boon to those of us with jobs to keep...otherwise I may never leave the keyboard!

Thank you for allowing me to playtest.

I really like the way air superiority is so important in the game, the planes don't win battles, but your plans are a mess if you don't control the sky...exactly right se of air in my opinion.

I've just checked an could not repro this issue. When it happens to you next time, please press L hotkel to invoke combat log and send the screenshot to me at rudankort@rsdn.ru. I'll investigate.

Thanks for feedback!
