Personally I enjoyed it a great deal but I have some hangups with
the system at times.

******Good Points**********
+ Cool units and interesting to build stratagies around your technical choice
+ Awesome first year of playing.
+ really nice strategic feel to system
+ errorless and nice feel to logical turn system

******Bad Points***********
+ Some unrealistic quirks in the system. Kinda hard to believe that a few
  hundred men can actually stop 200,000 troops.
+ Bombers are ridiculously underpowered on Strategic Bombing and overpowered
  when fighting against
+ Moral needs to be a more serious part of the game instead of
+ Second and third years suffer because of dropouts and dead countries
+ Minor unrealistic things here and there
+ Need to revamp victory decision methods.

Personally I think the system has great potential but definately needs
some tweaking. I know RTG hasn't the time to get to it so I am deeply
saddened. Will wait for the upgrade but will definately be back.
