    Was fantastic when the game first came, out I was a demon on casual pick up games online, especially as the Wehrmacht. I've been playing an 8 year old pirated copy since around the spies came out because the game became so much to managed. Now that my favorite contintent to play as (South America) is now getting focus tree's; I suppose it's finally time to relearn the game and pick up the new DLCs that I've been missing out on.

      Also missing was crytion encryption.
      Everything else was there because this was base game and most complex options are from DLC…

    edit: i would have liked if you went into more depth in the navy section- e.g you mention at 31:51 that you need 4 screens per capital ship to protect them, but you don't say protect them from what- with the answer being torpedoes. This could have better segwayed into explaining the 4 types of attack stat (torpedo, light attack, heavy attack, naval bombing)
