Haven't played Time of Fury so can't comment on that but I did jump right into GS 2.0 without ever playing CEAW. Its a pretty easy game to learn but a really hard one to master. There is a huge file of user documentation available too. There's also a ton of good helpers and advice here on the forum.

GS 2.0 (and now 2.1) are great and I've been playing almost every day since November.

Hope that helps.

thanks for your reply..
I know CEAW GS is a great game taht improves drastically the base core game( that was nice and valid as reviews told)
but i read that most of game improvements not affect the single payer game and that AI seems doesnt use new rules very often e very good..
and the game offers it's best in PBEM games Vs a human opponent..

so , because I 'm a single player gamer (because my time is veeeeeery little) I would to concentrate my studies (of the game rules) and my time on the most interesting a valid game betwwen two ones..especially for the Single player games..

I don't know what ToF is like, but CEAW is definitely not a good SP-game. The AI is simply too weak (the Allied AI is bad but not terribly bad, while the Axis AI is absolutely terrible), SP is only good to allow you to accustom yourself to the game rules.

However, CEAW takes less time in MP than you might think, because it's mostly played by PBEM. Many players have no problem with playing 1 turn per 1-2 days and the community is reasonably active.

Documentation is extensive and in PDF, iBook and Kindel formats. It is all in English -- hopefully not too big an issue. To download GS 2.1 manual (note GS 2.1 not released yet):

www.gs-manual.org

You can also download the GS 2.0 manual at the above website...

Another aspect is that the GS expansion allows you to select one of numerous languages for game messages, etc.

thanks again for our replies..
i know the and have the 2.1gs manual yet.. and it's a tome !!!

I started to study the manual and now i want to know if i can start directly form the 2.1 manual or if I must read the gs 2.0 manual first..and if in the gs 2.0/2.1 I can play as a single nation (eg. , Germany , italy or Soviet union) and not with the entire alliance.

and if the game is fun in single player even or i must play in MP only ..??

You do not have to read the GS 2.0 Manual. In fact, better not to as some features on GS 2.0 have changed in GS 2.1. Review features guide at start of manual. If you can - read the iBook or eBook format -- as it is linked with Table of Contents.
