No prob. Slitherine/Matrix also puts out WITP. Their forum is very helpful to new people. They're very welcoming. I've got two after action reports currently going. I'm Mundy over there. Its predecessor from 2002, Uncommon Valor, was a very scaled down version of this game, and I started with that, way back when. It just dealt with the Solomons Campaign. The first WITP was just this game on steriods. With any wargame, you'll deal with people who deal with serious ahistorical strategies. In one of my current games, I lost all of India. Just part and parcel for this genre. The whole Norway instantly flipping to my control sorta flipped me off a bit. In real life, the Germans practically lost half their navy taking that country.
