Grigsby - War in the East; worth time and money?

[Hadge]

Grigsbys WITE is the only game outside of a PzC/MC that I have purchased in nearly 10 years, and I have to say that overall I am very dissappointed.
Firstly and most importantly, you most definately need a very good spec PC to get the thing to run at a reasonable speed (which is at odds with some of the marketing I read prior); however, the manual is very comprehensive if a little badly written in places, and the game without a doubt looks awesome initially...but I find the interface clumsy (compared to JTs stuff), and despite investing in extra RAM etc - I have found that the AI is slow even with minimum parameters set, and the AI play does'nt show sufficient detail even with FOW Off
I have also found that the Map colours used during Mud turns to be very distracting.
It is clearly a massive project, an ongoing work in progress, and was eagerly awaited; but, and it might just be me being typically grumpy when things dont work as promised, IMO this definately overpromises and underdelivers.

Hadge,

If you post your problems on the Tech Forum they will help you with the speed issues, etc. I posted my specs and Pavel was quite helpful. You can diable the sound function and show mvt, etc and it may work quite well.

There are a few interface pecularities, but really once you get the hang of it, it becomes second nature.

The game is so deep that I am not sure that the blizzard is really broken; I am rereading Glanz and the ebtire AGC has 55 tanks left organized into one brigade for the assault on Tula...even before the blizzard and Soviet counter attack.

Marquo :)

I have only played the Smolensk scenario as Axis, found it hard to get a victory in the 10 turns alowed. Apart from that it looks a good a game and feels more like a TOAW upgrade .
