⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great first stage campaign. I built 500+ units in Japan Vs. AI in both the USA and the Philippines with 600+ units. The production, logistics, and expansion mechanics are very satisfying. Each country offers a unique challenge, and watching your manufacturing network grow feels rewarding. Really enjoying the game so far and looking forward to the later stages.
I prepared Barbarossa as Germany My technology is up to date and I unlocked some 1943 tank and air in 1941 I realized my manpower shortage so I delayed the operation 24th August 1941, I declared war on the Soviet Union Confident because I filled my entire front with tanks, infantry, artillery and plane 1/3 of bombing plane and CAS are gone after 2 turns Soviet parachute Romania and half of Romania is gone Thinking my troops could penetrate enemy defense, I push The Russian filled EVERY SINGLE TILES with infantry (mostly heavy + 3 entrenched) Sky is covered with ugly 1941 Soviet plane and my air defense can't help much Opened last turn summary Soviet lose 6000 every turns My tanks got hero but always ran out of ammo The infantry waves stopped, only to be replaced with waves of AA and artillery Rage quit because I ran out of manpower and my precious army is dead 10/10 would be surrounded by sea of Russian again

hyvä peli 5/5.
Endless hours of fun
had a lot of fun with the large eto scenario but i have two questions. where is the kiel canaL? who taught the a.i. to operate capital ships in the english channel and the med without any support against land based air? it's a slaughter in both places. the only place for carriers in this scenario is the north atlantic,
It good but don't play the battle of the bulge scenario as its not winnable as the Germans The weather is too favorable to the allies and you cant stop the allied air with how crappy flack guns work in this game ( range 1 = not worth the points ever IMHO needing three guns at 1 range to kill an aircraft on average isn't going to work ) I have played the Napoleonic mod that is good . The german deployment at the start of the battle gives you very few options but taking the historical attack ( a free deployment would be cool and add playability ) i know this should be a tuff nut to crack but I do wonder if anybody has won this one ( scenario version ) reminds me of panzer generals spring awakening scenario . Game has a lot to offer its worth buying !
one of the best turn based strategy game!!!
Jogo de estratégia muito bom, recomendo para quem gosta do gênero.
Dal primo esordio lontano anni fa quando conobbi Panzer General a questo capolavoro battendo attualmente tutti i vari cloni del gioco da sopra citato veramente Hex of Seel ha fatto passi da gigante per questo meraviglioso gioco a turni della seconda querra mondiale.Complimenti allo sviluppatore facendo una vera icona del genere. 100\100 e lode.
Es un juego de estrategia, intuitivo y a la vez complicado ( al menos para mí) pero me cautiva esa sencillez que ha hecho que me apasione trabajar con mods y despertar la pasión por crear wargames.
