This game drives me crazy. I have been playing as the Germans and have forced Russia to surrender. I got Mongolia out of the deal and made Greece a puppet. Russian empire joined my war against china. i have 174 top notch divisions. When I quit to main, understand that I destroyed the Soviet army and captured most of the soviet union. The Russian empire took over all of the Soviet land including all that I had conquered and their army score is 3x mine. I have also not been able to make the big army attacks. every time I set a starting line ll of my troops just go to one Provence and sit there, the don't cover the starting line. And I can never actually get them to jump off on the attach so I have to micromanage the sh it out of the battles which worked out well as I continually encircled the soviets and destroyed many divisions that way. Anyway the game needs much work but I do see promise. The scoring is terrible though.

I really like WW2 pacifc games. The best I have played was PacWar from the late 90s. I decided to give PSA a try as it was very inexpensive (and older) on steam. The game is very clunky with most commands being counter-intuitive. Still the strategic game seemed fun once I got the hang of it. Still clunky like MOO 3. Drill down and do "x" and you can only create groups of ships that are computer approved and so on. Combat, I was hoping was like TF 1942 the old Microprose game. Not quite, graphics were sub par but that was not a big deal for me. What most disappointed me was trying to get your ships and aircraft to do much of anything was terrible and the game always started the two sides facing each other at a distance of about 4 km or so. Now an Iowa should be able to blow a **** cruiser out of the water with ease. The range on the guns is 25 miles or something. I could never get them to shoot the big guns. And when I got frustrated and let the computer run the game, I end up hearing that my carrier TF with 2 or 3 carriers 3 Iowas and so on was destroyed, to a ship, by some DDs and 2 cruisers that sunk the game for me. Save your money.
