Editing capabilities allow you to create your own scenarios and campaign start points. The game adds to what was available from SPI with optional units, editable capabilities and many different scenarios and campaign games. Gordon Crighton from Orleans, MA United States If, for nothing else, it's not economically possible considering the game is not a big seller.Ģ of 3 people found the following review helpful: Overall, I agree with others that it is highly unlikely Decision Games will release more updates. It is possible to play an entertaining game. Eventually you can find work arounds to most but not all of them. As people have mentioned, there are glitches and quirks. I'm not certain this was deliberate and more likely a fortunate side effect of a game of this scope.

War in Europe is supposed to be a big, dumb monster game and, to some degree, that is true. I'm a big fan of monster war games and started during the heights of SPI's prime. Joseph Rody from Tampa, FLA United States So, particularly since I've found those kind of workarounds, I have still found the game a very worthwhile purchase.ġ of 1 people found the following review helpful: (And unfortunately the game editor doesn't appear to offer a way to manually alter that status, either.) I work around this by editing the Axis cadre box each production cycle and giving them a couple of "free" battlegroups to make up for the lost production points. In the game I'm currently playing, for example, the Axis captured Lille and Brussels in the spring of 1940 as they did historically, and it is now 1942 and they are still "damaged" with no option to fix them. In my case the option to repair damaged manufacturing or resource centers doesn't appear in the Axis production list. So I was happy to discover the DG computer version, and I've been enjoying it, but like others have experienced glitches. Since then, I've had time, space, or cat issues in the way. I bought the original SPI War in Europe game in the 80s, and only played once.
