did any of you guys buy it and what is your take on it please

Have not played it extensively, but probably a must-buy for the grog or student of history. Just wish it had an editor, but the game variants add some variety. And priced fairly at $40. Similar to SSG's series, with more unit detail and a (similarly) good AI. I assume you already have BA!

To be honest I find invading Poland and France a hassle, the fun in ww2 games is usually in the turning points, North Africa, Barbarossa, Bulge, Midway, things like that. This game looks pretty pointless if you ask me, its not like the dutch are going to be able to hold off the Germans

No problem discussing this but it really belongs in the general discussion forum so moving it over to avoid clutter and confusion

With all respect to the brave Dutch, I did LOL at this...

LOGAN5's point is a good one. I almost didn't buy the game cause of the time frame. But the in-game detail is pretty amazing compared to say, Time of Wrath's Polish campaign.

well i went and ordered it (so maybe we could play agame together)
