Cavalryman and mine too.
I've bought several AGEOD and Matrix Games products, and I'm quite accustomed to first-release bugs, even serious ones, but the WWI case is really far beyond the acceptable limit.
Some of the reported bugs are almost unbelievable: submarine war with no output, multiple events played by AI, france surrenders without even a message, map colors, no manual, dwarves' topographic convention with east at the top....I'm just citing randomly and could go on forever.
Moreover, judging by the posts here, it looks like the patching process is getting out of control too.
I'm not going to start a crusade to have my money back, but I want to make it clear that I'm not going to buy another AGEOD product without first reading carefully the forums for a couple of weeks; this way, if the quality of the next game will be the same as this one, scratch one customer.
