Player Comments on WWII Grand Strategy

This was extremely playable, a credible enough reason was given for time travel, the items were well thought out and the story was well put together. Personally I would have preferred a bit more interaction with some historical characters (Churchill: "I want to give a speech, any ideas" for example) and possibly a sequel with a viewpoint from... the other side (a.k.a. the Axis Powers) would definitely be enjoyable.

710!

good fun in a cover lesson

It's an ok story. Good historical accuracy, but you could use another look at your grammar.

I got the ultimate victory!

Great!

Playing as the British? What? We should be playing as the Soviets and Chinese to stop Japan, Germany, and America.

As the title hints, this is more game than story, with descriptions often bordering to high-school book levels of monotony. I had to say, someone named Rommel writing a WWII Grand Strategy piqued my interest.

However, I wouldn't call it a Grand Strategy. I'd call it more remembering of a basic high-school history lesson, and clicking the option that sounds familiar to what history happened. The presented facts themselves also require suspension of disbelief, something easy to do with the introduction being some time travel shenanigans. As Booty Boy remarked, there are many mistakes found in the representation of the second world war, so I'll refrain from going autistic on that topic. I'd just hope that Rommel would know Rommel did not go through Switzerland in the Battle of France.

However, some choices did irk me. I couldn't fathom why dumping all equipment and running for Dunkirk was a more effective strategy over leaving a rearguard behind. I guess in history all the mentions of rearguards were just flukes. You should just outrun the enemy armoured forces. I also had a hard time believing a mix of sniperboys and anti-tankboys were more effective in holding out a city, over a mass of boots on the ground, entrenched among the rubble. Other choices were as tedious as choosing the high ground over walking into an ambush.

Overall I'd say I am disappointed, the overall quality is more akin to a middle school kid ramblings than some serious Wehraboo take on wargaming within an IF format.

I thought it would be bad when the author described the Germans attacking south of the "Manginot Line". This would have seen them attacking through Switzerland! As for spelling 'Maginot' incorrectly, it could have been worse. At least he didn't call it the Mangetout Line! He then detailed how the German attack plan was the opposite of the Schlieffen Plan. In reality it was a modified version of the same plan. His lack of research was made even more obvious when he stated that they chose to avoid attacking through Belgium, opting instead to attack through the Ardennes. Unfortunately for him, the Ardennes are in Belgium!

The whole story was littered with similar errors. The most glaring of which was describing 1943 as a quiet year! 1943 saw the Allied invasion of Italy as well as some of the biggest battles in history, on the Eastern Front. Including the largest tank battle in history at Kursk.

The point allocation appeared to be totally arbitrary too. Sensible tactical or strategic choices were frequently given fewer points than ridiculous ones. What writing there was, was poor and littered with errors. The main premise of the game was ill thought out and poorly constructed.
Overall, the game was a complete mess.

Amazing

Cool

Very nice.

i got platnum

This was fun. I always love strategic games like this. GOLD MEDAL FOR THE WIN! Plus its world war two and im a bit of a history buff.

Got that platinum medal yeee

Should have left it alone after the first time. I re-iterate..., excellent idea. Needs development and some further detail. Something called "Grand Strategy" should not be able to be completed in 5 minutes.

Excellent idea. Crazy short. Played through to a score of 260 pretty quickly. Easy peasy, but I'm kind of WWII buff, sooo... I will play through again, be riskier in my choices and maybe find a longer story in it.

Playing as a Time Travelling Military General was definitely fun.

Pretty great... Went to the future and killed people in WWIII 10/10

Love it

Meh, it was okay with grammar mistakes and spelling misakes

Extremely linear and kinda boring

What...

Okay I guess

as a matter of fact its a nice game...

but writing and choices weren't fun...

but don't bother taking my advice cause even CYS's best games are boring...(except few ones)

Very fun, I love these strategy games.

Not bad.

This was really entertaining, please make a WWI grand strategy too.

Fun.

Honestly, I was a bit doubtful about this game at first, but it was actually better than I thought it would be.

only 375 points.

Yay i got good score, mostly because i privatly studied about this

I love WWII so in a very biased opinion, I enjoyed this idea. Now as a reader, it's a great educational concept but past that. Lacked some added creativity. Though, I enjoyed it a lot and it's great to see more stories that I'm excited to read.

Wow awesome and original concept. I don't really know about the rest though, will leave that up for someone else.

Intresting concept

How come my score is so low?

860 is the limit definitely.

Yayyyy, I got 780!^_^ I stopped world war 2 from ever happening! :D Nice job!Very informative game, seems like you know your stuff about WWII!^_^

335 is low(and i tried my best). How do you get 700 and above?!

decent game

Loved it, I am the second one to get this score!

How to get all 4 parts?

i got 210 6/8 very acurate

i died

I love time travel games. I made one myself. But wish it was longer. (as I usually do.)

Intresting idea for a story. Maybe you could do a storygame about a time traveler who got stuck just before the dark ages and trys to (survive/take over the world/return to the future) I would write a story like this but Time-travel stories are not my type. I like reading them tho...

pretty neat.

great job

sweet i got the ultimate ending

Alright.

i got
SCORE is 645.


this game is win

yeah i got 760 points

It's a very interesting game. :)

Very interesting concept, lots of fun, and quite well-written. Nice work!

it was still good but i didn't get a higher score

Relllllyyyyy good game kinda hard from my perspective

A lot of fun.

One of the best i've ever played so far!!!

Awesooome. I like the different approach you took to WWII.

Awesome.

All right! I just went through it again and got to WWIII, AND got a higher score! like I said, great game!

I got the Gold Time Medal! It was fun to see how history would be like if you could change it. This was a fun strategy game. I never got to WWIII though....

Awesome strategy game. It can be linear at times, and I'd rather have links open up than have to use my item, but other than that, excellent. 6/8

very good

im not very good at this game but i still thoguth it rocked!

Good game, I got a silver medal.

This is the highest score- 810

better - definitely better. Put a little more thought into "getting me into the character" and actually give me that medal you promised in the beginning. That done, I'll feature it.

It's getting better Rommell. Add some pictures of WWII to make the experience seem more real. Also you don't clearly define: who am I (the player) in this world? Am I member of the British Army? Am I a general in the army? What's my role in this whole thing. It's well thought out and almost complete - now put me in the story.

After Replaying again I will give you props for major improvements. This would win the award for most improved. However, although I would agree that it deserves to be featured above "How to play a game", it may not stay there. Props man! 6/8.

Played it again. Much better, Rommel. Apart from the occasional spelling mistake this storygame is just about perfect. A seven out of eight. Seriously, this was heaps fun (I don't know if that's because I actually find the World Wars interesting seeing I've actually learned some stuff about it just recently, but I understand a lot more, and I see you've put in a lot more effort as well).

That was a very different game very good for everything else but maybe it should be placed in edutainment even if it's not 100 percent historically accurate. This game is good even if I didn't fully understand what some thing ment. Or the reasoning behind some options. I liked it.

**** 4 Stars!
YAY for you.

This game is great! I love it and hope it gets featured!!! 7/8

Woah, this is much better...

Wow, it's a lot better now. Last time i gave a 4, now i gave it a 7.

Not bad Rommell. Relatively enjoyable, fairly well written - let me check out the rest of this category before I decide whether or not to feature it.
march

Ah, Rommel, this just keeps getting better and better. Experience a WWI flashback. . .

The game was okay, Well, I stopped WWII from happening...

Not Bad
I liked it
Good subject area
However, I didn't like how you put it in a list with Finals week, which in my opinion is a "grade" higher :P

Hey, Rommel. Played it again, still like it quite a bit. I think a lot of people like this game, judging by the comments.

Gd game Rommel Gd game :D bring me the halo 2 morrow.

correction-THIS is the best score for the game.

Good. It was pretty cool and well made

Yeah... I got the best ending! try and equal this score!

Cool! I liked it.

It could go in Edutainment instead. It's not really Modern either.

pretty good-- could've gone in edutainment with a little more description

That war was really interesting, and you recounted it pretty decently here. Would have liked more descriptions on each actual battle. A little too short.

Pretty neat.

it's okay!

I like this game. Lots of options and strategy kind. Pictures are ok, not a long, but for me, pictures are not that important.

and wow, i never thought u would even put WW1 in there. That must have take a while, good job!

Reinactment of World War 2. If there are any German people on this site, you best find out and open your checkbook, because they are most likely going to sue the living crap out of you. Good luck with retirement.

Bah decent game for a freekin 12 year old

Nice.

When do I use the inteligance? How do I kill hitler without his bodygaurds? How do I a perfect score?

Intresting. A good idea, though somehow I found the execution lacking. But I think you have the potential to make truly great games. Try to describe things better, have less no brainer choices, and don't include silly things like that you go to 1985 and die of old age

NEW BEST SCORE!!!

Sorry guys, but im going to unpublish this game so i can give it some more bonus features. cya!

In the WW1 bonus level, you also need to explain what's going on: who's side are you on, where are you, and what are you supposed to do?

Very good game! A good WW2 game with lots of historical facts, action and a creative plot twist. The only thing it's missing is more background analysis. I would have liked to know exactly who I was (I realize the protagonist is an army general, but what's their name?)

This isn't bad at all. In fact it was actually pretty fun. :)

This game is actually not half bad. Congrats on that.

DANG! Nice game, kid. Un-linear, good story, good game, and nice job.

Good game

New Bonus Feature added!

Awesome Game!

i think this is a bit o linear... on the other hand its a good linear game. i hope i see more games like this!

Thanx. i'll get around 2 it.

Interesting concept and a good first story. Touch up the spelling, add a few links, and maybe a picture or two, and you'll be golden.

not bad for a first game. pictures and more background information would be great.

1stly glue 5 this is original. there is not a single other WWII game anywhere on this website yet. i'll change that though. and secondly, simple games can be a bit boring.

Dude, you aren't supposed to make an Advanced Game as you're first game! You have to have more knowledge! Just, make you're next game an Original Game next time, k?

Guys I'd like to tell you that this game is going to be unpublished to make it better. any ideas for mods? ive already got one so you cant time travel more than twice.

Have you guys got 600+ points yet? my next Game is a World War 3 game where you can lead troops from the front line.

What on earth is this?!!!

Sorry, kid, but man...

Do you guy know how to get 600 points? hehehe!

Being able to live 90+ years has gotten me through world war 2 3 times and well, that is unbelievable. Mabey you could make it harder by only allowing time travel once. You do know how to do that right?

Great Game Rommel! whare are the rest of the time-machine parts?

Excellent Game. Mabey It could be in a section like Modern Adventure. Great game! This is better than most peoples' first games.

Good Game Rommel!

Good game
