WEGO World War II: Stalingrad

I plan to update this review after maybe 100 hours of gameplay but I enjoy it so much so far that I want to make sure I say so. I think the game checks a lot of boxes for most people looking for a good Eastern Front game. Most people will find only 2-3 elements (might be different for everyone depending on their experience level) to be obtuse or unnatural. For me it's the left clicking to move, coming from decades of right click to move strategy games. It is a small thing, but to me it would immediately bump this game up from a 7.5/10 to an 8.5/10. I think that the design is very solid, the graphics are nice, and the rest of the controls make sense. Pros: Solid Game Great Topic Perfect Scale (both time scale and unit size scale work well) Good Graphics (which isn't apparent from the marketing materials) Cons: Left click to move

played this more on the forum / site version than on steam, but would recommend it to anyone who loves war games

Love the WEGO system.

Only played the tutorial and refunded it, since I couldnt afford the game right now. Being a Attack at Dawn fan this game is fantastic. One of the best WEGO games out there. The tutorials are easy to learn. Very clear to get you started. I wish Matrix Games had their other games in their library to make tutorials like this game. I hate buying games where the tutorials are so cryptic it sits there for years collecting virtual dust. Or games that dont even have tutorials like Rule the Waves 3. My only complaint is the unit graphics are poor quality. Just a black shadow stick man figure. You can mod it but the developers should really put pride in their games and put effort making their units look proper.

I really like the "details" that you can "tinker" with, I recommend the Stalingrad "street" fighting scenarios, they reflect the overall chaos of "Rattenkreig"!

I beat my frist scenario after 27 hours of learning.... then I beat another scenario!!!! This is the best game ever made.
