Read both the review and AAR during the weekend. Now I´m 95% close to purchasing this one and finally dig into the FWW. Now only to finally receive that sallary which makes those remaining 5%  Big Grin

Good luck hope you enjoy the title if you do get it, if you are a PzC player who is going to try FWWC then make sure you read my article to help make the transition easier, the series look the same but differ in some very subtle but important ways! Big Grin

Thank you. I´m now definitely decided for purchase. I´m always reading the full Designer´s Notes and the rest of documentation. I´m aware that these titles are really different from PzC, so I will also read your article  Helmet Wink

That's great news! Just remember the casualties you take is directly linked to the number of troops you have stacked in a hex (unlike most PzC titles), I have personally seen a opponent take almost 300 casualties from a single fire attempt by a combined British battalion + MG unit.  Whistle

 So that´s something like Alt Fire in PzC, always liked this approach, but the PzC scenarios are not build for it unluckily.

 So or so, purchase made! Going to read all the docs, play the Getting Started and then some smaller scenarios first. Also started to read the book I have on WW1 Helmet Smile  Then only to find some human opponents, purchase the rest of the titles and once mastering the mechanics and tactics throw myself into that Grand Campaign madness!  Big Grin
