I didn't think I'd like it much, since I prefer the history of WWII. However, from strictly a strategy standpoint it just picks up where CS WWII leaves off. Very much like meeting up with an old friend. I find myself hitting the F2 key a lot to see what a specific unit is and what it was used for. All in all I was having a pretty good time getting my clock cleaned before Eric started having email issues.
More than anything I think CSME is desperate for the scenario designer community. "Endgame..." is pretty lopsided. Be interesting to see which scenarios become the favorites over time and which fall by the wayside. Probably too early to tell which scenarios are balanced based on current results. Still, anyone have any favorites yet?

Boisforas here with maybe a "quick fix" for the otherwise interesting "Jenin" scenario, to whit: space out the arrival of the Jordanian 40 Armored Brigade so the Israeli Shermans dont get overwhelmed. If the 40 AB had been traveling all night, maybe a little fatique factor could be introduced. So Im off to Amazon to what kind of tactical books I can find about the Arab-Israeli wars!
