Wwalker98 - just a note to say thank you from 'another frustrated soul'.

The 'Race to the Meuse' had me foxed for a week. Your last tip finally did it. But even so, it was a gamble, and I only got there with luck and in the last desperate lunge via Verviers. Commuting has never been that exciting before!

I had no problem playing this scenario as the Allies against either 'Rundstedt' or 'Dietrich' AIs. Their moves weren't particularly illuminating either.

I think as a training scenario this is a bit hard. A demo mode option AI vs AI to show how to do it would be very instructive. However, maybe reverse psychology is the intention, as I started with the 'Lite' version and the 'Race to the Meuse' definitely got me hooked to buy the full version. Main campaign is a bit more forgiving of blunders!

Fantastic game - very atmospheric. Like a living history lesson!
