dear fellow gamers
i'm about to order one of the titles dealing
with the war in the western desert, but not
yet quite sure which one exactly.
from what i've seen so far i'd say EA42 looks
like a slugfest with less maneuvering, while
T41 provides the bigger map with more
strategic options. must admit i've read Niall Barr's
book about the Alamein Battles and so i'm tempted
to get the coresponding PzCampaign as well.
On the other hand, i found the more static
battles like Kursk less entertaining as PBEM
(for the one playing the defense, that is).
if anyone is willing to share his thoughts and
compare the strengths/weaknesses of both
titles for me, that'd be great!
cheers
