First of all, im fan of all WW2 games, i played this game a lot of hours, spent days and nights, and i must say this game is THE BEST Grand Strategy WW2 game available.

Game difficulty is very hard, why? Because to WIN you need to monitor a lot of things: Resources, Trades, Diplomacy, Intelligence, Research & Production and your own Politics.

Another point of making this game extra hard is to learn HOW and WHEN to use AI, yes game have AI to automate some things even battles, but its semi-AI since you need to interfere often.

Well some of you guys will say: "THEN WHY BOTHER, i want to enjoy game not to spend century of learning, reading strategy guides etc.." well, in fact once you learn it you well enjoy it a lot. For me it took few days of reading, practice to learn basic-moderate gameplay.

Can you imagine yourself as Stalin commanding 2.000.000 of troops, commanding your AI Generals, Punishing them?, Conduct trade with Allied nations, Trading WW2 tech, Creating Spy Missions? well... its not easy, BUT NO OTHER GAME ON EARTH offer such ability and FUN!

MUST HAVE FOR ANY Grand Strategy FAN, WW2 FAN!

Cons:
It would be nice to give us more control over puppet states and
supply system when invading Distant country's is not that good.


How to describe this game in funny way hmmm:
"its a monopoly game with guns and hitler"
