I am happy about this plugin. Do I like it? No, its not very fun and most of the game/map options are completely redundant. Also, there are still too many times where attack commands result in a soldier just sitting there, doing absolutely nil.

Why am I happy about it, then? Becuase you said this is the final version. Thank god. You have been making bad versions of Zeph's work for NEARLY A DECADE!

You must really love grey landscapes and snare-drum rolls.

I love this plugin. It has everything I want out of a WWII game. The maps may be of a somewhat varying standard, but it doesn't really matter to me. The units are fun with all the different special weapons and as long as the host understands how the game should be played it works well.

Island is my personal favourite, many nice visual things in this map. Bridges work well for larger 2 team games, Bloodshed is really an ugly looking map with some annoying hill bugs around the flag, but overall it's still fun to play. Also worth mentioning Vietnam which is a tricky map with lots of areas for close range fighting. Including Chaos with the longer distances also adds something to the plugin.

The "A" as in Adaptive is also a nice feature where you get the same number of units as the number of players in the team. The possibility to pick how many units you want to have on the map by changing the difficulty is also nice.

The risk of taking a lethal hit forces you to stay alert, and a new way of dodging is necessary. If you're an old school WWII:er you may not like it. Me? I think the original was innovative and really changed myth, but it gets tedious after all this time. Most games now are just endless repeated recon elim koth. AVA revives WWII.
