I was going to buy it, so I d/l'ed the demo. This game hurts my
brain! It's more fun to go to work! I'll pass.

But it is a very detailed game and a user friendly GUI, if this is
what your looking for, I recomend it. Just not my cup of tea, as
those people say.

Thanks.

I'm finding it totally addicting, but I can understand someone who sees it
more like a "work": basically you take the job of the Leader of a superpower
during WWII.

Also, a good knowledge of the period helps, since many concepts are already
in your brain (I do know, for example, that Savoia-Marchetti is good in
making airplanes, or which strategic mistakes Italy should not do again). I
find "Victoria" an harder game to play because my knowledge of the 1800-1900
period is much more limited.

Speaking of which, while the URL you gave works fine, Paradox's main
site has been unavailable for days, at least for me. Anyone know if
they've moved or something?
