Some of the things that they've done for this is: enlarged the size of the game-board hexes; enlarged the game counters (to 5/8"); enhanced the visual aspects of the graphics; included New Scenarios; allowed for an 'Allied Expeditionary Force' (Variant Counters); provided a New Weather Chart; improved on everything in general; and even included a CD-Rom for game play with others over the 'Net!

Those folks at L2 D.G. are planning on releasing even MORE of John Edwards' great game designs and I'll be looking forward to their expertise in producing them as well.
