Hi,
This is my initial Feedback. Game is great! Keep up the good work, looking forward to further testing.
Regards
Gomoto

Performance:
Performance is good. (AMD Phenom 4 Core 3,2 Ghz, 4 GB RAM, Nvidia GTX 640)

Map Graphics:
I like the graphics overall. (Some Details in First Impressions)

Usability and UI:
Improve the white turn text on black background screen
(Design, Timer, a CLICK TO START / HIT ANY KEY type Message) - high priority
Perhaps an additional zooming step in the middle - low priority

Game Rules:
I love PG - I love PC
enough said

First Impressions:
(logged while playing)
When I click the icon it takes a long time to display the first screen. What about a small loader window to give some feedback in advance. - medium [Edit: Loading is now fast]
I dont like the double white lines around the sidebar - low
I like the look of the sidebar elements - good
long waiting time with the white turn text on black background, perhaps show map with smaller text window - medium
Mouse scroll scale change is working - good
I like the map graphics - good
I turn off the music
Where is the briefing?
What about an option to only show the icons and not the hex shading when moving
Panzer is walking - beta sound :-)
Ok, I have to click the white turn text ...
I would like to see a range when I click the enemy artillery
First battle, sound and graphic - good
Do I really like the red bar, will decide later
Elite replacement for my panzer discovered
Ok I forgot to take the victory locations
After first mission - I like the game!

Starting tutorial campaign:
Heureka, here is the briefing
Reached objectives on turn 5
I read that i can update my core forces, but the purchase button is greyed out ...
Ah, I only can buy after i deployed my forces, i missed to buy trucks for my infantry
Mission Turn 4:
How do I detect unmoved units? It is not the red bar.
Mission 2 Turn 7:
Ok found the unmove unit warning, but how to mark unmoved units?
Decisive Victory reached:
A tool to log the progress would be nice :-)
Mission 3 Deploy:
I would like to see a truck icon on the sidebar for my infantry
Did not read about overstrength units yet
Mission 3 Turn 2:
Ah, they are moving as well. ;-)
Mission 3 Turn 6:
Argh, I lost my bridging unit
Misision 3 Turn 10:
Thought I have won this already, but his lone survivor kills one of my reserve infantry because my supporting artillery was out of ammunition - good
Mission 4 Deployment:
Why cant I see the exp stars in the unit list?
Had to stop and cook something for the family ...
Did not know that I will be selected for the beta when I commited ...

Back to the game!
Mission 4 Decisive Victory
Lost again a core unit, victory on turn 9, enjoyed immensly

End of First Impressions :-)

Second Thoughts:

I would like to place my purchased units with the right (or left) mouse button.
