If you held a Luger to my head I guess I could come up with a few criticisms of Easy Red 2, but it would be a struggle. Recently updated and enlarged, Marco Amadei’s marvellous multi-front WW2 FPS is available for a paltry four quid at the moment. At that price, it puts the Browning automatic rifle in ‘bargain’.
