| 11 of 11 people found the following review helpful  Computer Wargaming at its Best!!!, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: World at War (CD-ROM) As a avid wargamer, I love playing tabletop wargames from Squad-Leader to Axis & Allies. The one problem with table top wargaming is keeping all the details, ranges, units, etc. in tact. As a general you usually have aids and other officers helping to decipher all the details. While playing a table top wargame you have to keep track of everything yourself. This also slows the game down. The other thing that I always found lacking in table top gaming is Fog-of-war. You are always, for the most part, able to see what your opponent is doing.Computer gaming has allowed for taking the table top wargaming to the next level. Keeping extensive online databases of unit information, calculating max fire effects, movement cost, indirect fire, and more. Computer wargaming has also been able to introduce counter maps and full 3D views. With the addition of Play-By-EMail (PBEM(, the ability to design maps and scenarios, and change the look of the units (yes, you can modifiy the BMP...

That is enough for most people to go out and get a game. I really enjoy playing in the different campaign locations that seem so realistic for where they are. The Germans are the nastiest simply because they have the best weapons throughout the war and this is illustrated beautifully by Talonsoft.The ONLY drawback to the game(s) is that the boxed set comes without a manual for you to read or go over while cutting your teeth on the tutorials. This lack of documentation makes the learning curve a little harder than it has to be, seeing how you have to figure out what all the stats and how to use them thru trial and error. All in all, once you get past the learning curve, the game becomes very enjoyable. If you are on the fence about getting this game, please, do yourself a favor and get it. It is well worth it!! 12 of 13 people found the following review helpful What a Bargain!, This review is from: World at War (CD-ROM) To think any of us would have paid this price for one of the game individually. Now you have them all. It is a pleasure playing from the African Desert to Guadalcanal; and everything in between. With this bundle, you should be kept busy playing for the next year or two. |
