And so I relented to the temptation. Can't say I regret buying it. Bought it near original MSRP at $135.00 while many other new copies abroad are selling more than 500 bucks.

Played it on Saturday with two other friends who came without appointment to my surprise. I played the Allies and we played for 5 hours from 6 PM to 11 PM excluding setting up and rule explaining. We also used custom rule which I named single board naval fog of war and modified submarine combat.

The custom rule explaination may sound or look complex or more complex that it actually is. The custom rule is actually easy to be remembered since it follows common sense, just that writing the whole things makes it look complex with so many sentences that had to be broken down to points.

I've realized because of the fixed setup the game opening gambit for each player or nation power will likely be the same more or less.

and @Skybird: no headache for this one though in 5 hours we were mentally drained. Only Shogun caused me mild headache on first time playing it. Well I accept that it wasn't due to the brain making pathways :-)
