Half price at the moment.

Pretty good game, but its huge! (in game scale that is) lots to do each turn, takes a bit to learn. They are working on War in the West right now, plus some other theaters are in the works also. Going to cover most of the ETO and Med by the time they are through. WiTE will look small by then,lol

Thanks.

Check out the various parts of the forum for this sim Tribesman, get a feel for what's going on with it, good and bad. From problesm with it, to AAR's and tactics. Its a good place to look around before you think about getting it. Its a heck of a good deal for it!

I downloaded a different looking map mod for it, was only a 270 MB file,lol
This game is over 1 GB in size once its installed and updated! You don't have to do the whole Russian front, you can command Army Group North, Center or South. Or you can command the Russians.

Yes, definitely worth it. Especially at that price!

Eddie, on scale, time per turn, learning and micromanagement how does it compare with War in the Pacific for example?
For comparison I mean I recently started my first attempt at Japan in WitP, over two weeks it took about 30 hours on the initial setup before hitting end turn button for turn 1.

Its a heck of a good deal for it!

Yes, definitely worth it. Especially at that price!

I was pretty much 90% sold on getting it eventually even at full price, the sale has pushed it up to 95%.
I just need to convince myself the on final 5%
