Anyone played it? Is it worth $60?

No feedback at all? Surely someone here has played it.

Sometimes, silence can say it all, fellow Georgian!

Only sometimes though...

$60?!

I paid $39.99 for mine IIRC.

It's a great game, but lacks in replayability as there's only so many scenarios.

The good: Fog of War is excellent and often misleading, relatively easy to play, looks like multiplayer is tons of fun, AI isn't too predictable, can finish a game in an hour or two, and more action with less downtime than many wargames.

The bad: Not too many scenarios (though each has alternates), not very user created content friendly.

I played it for about 1 or 2 weeks then I became bored. The longtime motivation is almost not present for me, maybe it would be better if the game was not so focused on the carriers and if there was a kind of campaign.
