Perhaps it is foolish to talk about a game after only 3 games, but I want to talk about my impresions.

- About ETO warfare at the strategic level, I have played the original AH "Third Reich", "World in Flames" and "John Prado´s Third Reich". I think that the last edition of "Third Reich" is flawed. My opinion and experience, not offence intended. For example, in that Game Germany can declare the war on Portugal. Only declaring it ( even if there are no units capable to attack Portugal )is often enought to allow Spain to enter the war on the German Side. And then Spain invades Portugal. I am Spanish, I have read a little about History, and I was dissapointed. My years as a "World in Flames" Player are gone. It is extremely time consuming. But now, EE offers me an excelente game to "recreate" WW2 in Europe in a fast an easy to learn and play way. We can play the whole war in 2 6-7 hour sessions, or a intensive day of wargaming

- Blocks are EXCELLENT in a game like this. Now you cant take a look at the Soviets before deciding to attack or not. I wonder why there are so few block wargames. Wood is cheap.

-It works well to recreate the historical feeling. Perhaps there is too little way to "change history" ( for example, preventive strike against Italy, not allowing the Soviet to Attack in 1941 if there are 5 one step blocks in the frontier ), but it works well, very well.

-Simplified air and naval warfare is a must if you want to speed play. Perhaps allowing some kind of Interdiction in the supply phase would be Ok... In 1940 the Med is usually an Italian Sea, but one Royal Navy there automatically supplies Malta. But it is a minot thing.

-Excellent tool of learning. I have friends that want to play wargames, but the "ASL way of life" is too time and mind consuming. I love ASL, but we need variety. When I was a child there were a Game Company named "NAC" who published simple but good wargames. One person who played "simple" wargames when he was 12 or 14 years old, can play EE without much effort.

I gave this game a 9.5. Thanks for this masterpiece.
