LPJD: First Impressions

[LstptrlJD]

Thanks for letting me be a part of the Beta. Great job so far.

I am not one for doing tutorial missions. Most gamers are going to just jump right in. The UI is very good, easily understood and info pops up as you mouse over. Pick the basic campaign, starting with invasion of Poland.

30 sec. in - Game looks good, intro info and library functions are nice. Graphics and sound are appropriate. Nice mix of units, air power is well done.

5 min. in - German war machine marches on. Poland falling fairly quickly. Try the upgrade function for some units just to mix it up.

15 min. in - Poland done. Rewarded with a special unit (Waffen SS) Nice .

1 hour in- On second mision (Norway), I have captured all visible cities, ports, airfields, yet game does not end. Map shows a green dot for enemy unit/city/whaterver in bottom right corner near Sweden, but air and sea search reveals nothing. Possible glitch? Game ends as a marginal victory? Hmmmm. Did get a medal for one of my units though. Like this. Nice touch to not only have your units move forward in the campaign but for them to also gain some silverware.

Have completed most of this campaign, am now on invasion of USA. Tried it on easy first, definitely too easy. Don't get me wrong, I love to win, but the easy setting is a pushover so far.

Thanks for feedback. Easy is very easy - its intended to appeal to people not familiar with the type of game as an introductory level. Anyone who wants a challenge should try raising it up a notch or two

There is a bug ion Norway victory conditions which is being fixed.
