SECOND FRONT from SSI is absolutely the best computer wargame I have ever seen!
And the interface is so good you would swear it was written originally for the
Amiga; it puts EVERY Electronic Arts IBM-port I have ever seen TO SHAME!

To summarize very quickly: it requires one meg, but there are no cute digitized
pics; there are no neat-o sound effects; it is, simply, a massive and very
detailed game, with the best game "system" I have ever seen, which is both
very easy to learn and flexible; into which a lot of work went, and if you like
wargames (boardgames OR computer games) YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY BUY SECOND FRONT!
It includes June 22, 1941 and June 28, 1942 campaigns as well as shorter
scenarios played in small areas of the map; the battle of Moscow and the Battle
of Stalingrad!
The computer can play eitherr or both sides, or you can have two players.
See my posting of a few days ago, "SECOND FRONT GERMAN ORDER OF BATTLE" for an
idea of how detailed the game is!  Or if you would like me to E-Mail you a very
detailed German Order of Battle for June 22, 1941 (down to the inndividual
batallion and battery) just e-mail me and I will get it right out to you!
