Campaigns could last a few more days to a few more months.  Probably sometime sooner i would expect. Once it is finished, it will switch back.

The Germans started off big, but have given up ground lately. Jump back in there and give the AXIS a hand. I find playing AXIS alot more fun.

Glad we could help!

You are correct, they are in the middle of creating an all new training tutorial for new players which is in beta atm. It should be available around the end of the year. A suggestion is to look at http://wiki.wwiionline.com/index.php/Training or  http://forums.battlegroundeurope.com/forumdisplay.php?f=92. This game definitely has a steep learning curve, but its the most rewarding game I've played.  Thousands play, so there must be something to it.

Great Post and definitely like no other game I've ever played.

I still enjoy other games but after just a few weeks they lose their luster and I go running back to WW2. Cannot wait for Unity II (new graphics engine) to come next year.

In the beta which you can download on the homepage has a large amount of training material. The game does have a learning curve so I'd recommend it to anyone who is just starting out. Another suggestion would be to join a squad or ask in game for help. Most people with any rank have been in the game for many years and love to help out.

See ya in game S!

Definitely take advantage of the 14 day trial to get your feet wet. Christmas is just around the corner :-)

Their is always alot going on in the game since most of the player base is between Europe and US.  Primetime is normally EST evening but you'll be hard pressed not to find action all day long.
