Firstly I wish I could hire you! Best round of feedback I have got and really appreciate the time you have put into putting it together 

I have spent the evening reading through your Google doc will try to give some answers or insights. 

Downloading

1. Packaging my first game on itch and hasn’t been perfect trying to get the right setup and pipeline trying to work on that and can solve it for the next release and hence the full mobile browser to try and support that gap. Apologies for the pain 

Content

1. Map is definitely WIP - Only released this real world map on the last update. It was built on a previous coloured circle system so to build the whole geography will take time but will do it including those additional regions. I would really like this it to flow following decisions and some running in the background 

2. Text is such a balance, as easily 100,000+ words with handwritten text but used AI to help with tone and consistency but looking at removing that and I am handwriting updates each time 

3. Really love the perspective feedback, I do think my own perspective is naturally (incorrectly) Western biased and Soviet section is the weakest and will take onboard that and update. I want the game to focus on staff operational friction instead of moral hindsight anyway  

4. The Alt-History is the newest additions in content. The game was never intended to have it and actually held against it for a load time but adding in the speculative tags following player feedback so that will keep getting better

5. Campaign start dates were chosen as generally the way it could potentially forks out beforehand is greatly different and then generates lots of new writing but will think about the Soviet start date

I am still actively working on this so hopefully I can get 3 stars from you soon! 

Have some other projects I would be interested in getting your thoughts on so drop me an email if you are interested 

Lovin it! Go go go

Thanks for flagging! Hopefully you are enjoying the update. I will add it on my list to fix. I done a lot of working on the endings and that must have skipped through the net 

Update for this is live - let me know how you get on 

Hey, thanks for playing! There are ways to get to Berlin ahead of 1945 as the Soviets however I have been looking at Soviet content plus your comments has made me realise there is more to do. I am working on an update with the plan to release in around a weeks time that will add some more variety around the Soviet endings and mid-game to get ahead of the historical baseline 

Hey, Can you directly email me at C18Doyle@gmail.com and I will give you the details. There is a way to play on mobile which I can share just cannot share the info here as it will be visible to all

Could you make the correct key strategic decisions during WW2 that would speed up the Allied victory, lead to a Soviet era of domination or be a lead commander of OKW?

Following the release of Dispatches 1940. I have released Dispatches 1941 which focuses on the Pacific theatre and whether you could crush the Japanese empire or lead Japan to victory.

Hey,

So potentially in good news for you, the whole Pacific theatre is covered in a different release. If you see on my page Dispatches 1941. 

I like icon idea and initially I had a historical choice marker visible on the option cards but it felt too leading. I could add it into a badge after making the choice with that would work. The nodes are already tagged with it so not a big job either. 

I will also explore that branch a little further and see if there is room for expansion. My knowledge of Sweden during the war is fairly limited but I will have a look and see if their is some diplomatic nodes that could come out of it. Open to suggestions 

Hey, thrilled you enjoyed it. As in more content would you like it to go deeper during the actual war? That is what I continue to work on or would it be some more post-war content? 

Hey, I sent an email out to all the people who purchased the game with a solution for mobile players. Let me know if that works or if you have any further issues or have any questions. All the love for playing it 

Hey, have just sent an email out to all the people who purchased the game with a solution for mobile players. Let me know if that works or if you have any further issues. Thanks so much for playing 

Hey, sorry for any difficulties you are having. I will try to fix asap! What issue are you having with the downloaded file? The index.html file should run it 

Hey, I’ve updated the game page settings, it should now play directly in your browser (including on mobile) without needing to download anything. Let me know if you’re still having trouble. You can still download the file and open the index file if needed

Really fun concept 

Good concept and got potential. I think some work on the spelling on your screenshots and opening screens would help

I constantly throw myself at the  North Africa campaign and hold off invading Russia as the Wehrmacht. Then try to negotiate my way out of the war.

The golden goose is the fall of Moscow
