DTR is great!

[Kharkov]

Thanks guys this is an interesting thread with helpful comments.

However I confess to be sitting on the fence before making the final decision to part with my hard earned.

I have three concerns/questions :

1. I saw somewhere that one of the designers of this game said he wanted it to a "beer and pretzels " game. I used to play BTR and I enjoyed the detail of that game so maybe this one is not for me. Do you guys see this as a b&p game ?

2. Do one week turns really play out okay ? I would have thought that a game of this kind would need daily turns to be reasonably realistic.

3. Apart from the fact you you play as either the British or the German what is the replayability factor ? And how long does a campaign take ? I hope a reasonably long time--not like just a couple of hours.

Thx for any comments !
