Thankyou for the answers to my questions. They have been very informative and helpful.
I have been using a friends copy of the game, which is an older version, for nearly three monthes now as he is flat out with work committments. I usually borrow games off of my friends, play them for a few days then return them, bored with them.
I am a very fussy and hard to please individual who loves attention to detail. I like games like this one that enable you to play pre-set battles and have the scope to enable you to make your own as well. I am glad that you are not restricted in the usual manner when choosing units in that you can only have 1 or 2 King Tigers. If you want to fight a big game and have 30 King Tigers rumbling forward across no-mans land, then the only restrictions are if they where available at the time you are fighting.
As I have said I have had this copy for nearly three months and can't wait to get home and fight it out on the computer. I will be purchasing a copy for myself in the very near future. A nearly unheard of thing over here, I only have two other games that I have purchased because I am so very, very, very hard to please.
Once again thankyou for the reply and I have to once again say, OUTSTANDING GAME
