Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded).

This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Nonsensical stats. STR and CON should always be separate. A pet peeve of mine. I might be able to add more stats and salvage the game. I'll get to reading more of the quick start.

I looked at the quick start and found it interesting.   Don't know if I would actually buy it though.

Not sure what the point of the players role playing a football game was (one of the linked videos).   Seemed odd.

I have it and it is glorious!

I read the quickstart rules and it seems like a fairly normal RPG. Does the full rulebook have any special rules that would make it more suited to WW2 than any other traditional RPG? Such as abstract terrain rules, command and morale, or rules for squads?

Ordinarily I'd just buy the book but this one is $53.

Year Zero Engine seems appropriate for a WWII game.  It works well for Twilight2K.

Terrible idea, overwhelming majority of ttrpg players can't pass Voight-Kampff test.

WWII: Operation White Box is a very straightforward RPG set in WWII. Lots of adventures available as well.
