RE: How PG continues to grow on me.
When I first picked up the Eastern Front box at my local game store, the "excellent" rating for solo play got my undivided attention. That was six months ago. Since then:
I find the whole concept of smaller activations comprising a turn to be just what I needed. My leisure time's VERY limited. I like the idea of being able to stop in the middle of a turn if I have to.
While there were some computer games that I really enjoyed, my limited time meant limited progress. Sometimes I'd go 3wks to a month without a lot happening. That really cuts down on the interest, no matter how much you like the game. But PG moves along at a brisk enough pace where there's a lot happening each turn. It's like a book that I'm really engrossed in. I get to the end of one chapter and can't wait to pick the book up again to see what happens next. The greatest tribute I can give PG is that the only day I've missed playing it since January was Easter Sunday.
