(I say “surmise” because I actually don’t count myself amongst their august ranks this way I can get away with all kinds of faux pas that a true groggy would never perpetrate.) It’s also exactly the type of game wherein I envisioned all minutiae being taken over by the computer no more dice rolling, rules-mongering, and repeated referrals to tables, charts, and rules. Strategic Command WWII: War in Europe ( SC WiE) is just such a game accessible enough for the uninitiated (to the wargame genre) as well as sophisticated and deep enough, I would surmise, for most grognards.
Whereupon I forget all about the manual again other than a vow to self about having to read it in order to discover other hidden features. Then, upon elucidating said aspect, and perhaps running across something else that stimulates a reaction of, “Oh, so that’s why that happened!” I am energised to run back to the game. It isn’t often I find a game nowadays accessible enough not to need one at least until I want to learn more about this-or-that feature.
#STRATEGIC WAR IN EUROPE MANUALS#
In a recent review I confessed a prior penchant for reading manuals virtually cover-to-cover before booting up a game for the first time, and how I seldom do that any longer.
