Here's my recommendation on how to avoid being bored with RTW so soon after you've purchased it:

1. Make sure your job has at least a 90 minute commute each way, and requires you to be at the office at least 50-60 hours per week.

2. Marry a woman who can't understand in the least why you would waste any time playing a wargame on the computer when you could be spending that time together (of course, she's right since I'm home so few hours a day during the week).

Then, like me, you'd play no more than a few hours a week (if I can wake up early enough on Sunday and let the wife sleep in), so even though you bought the game the day it was released you'd only be around year 245 BC on your first campaign and you wouldn't be bored at all yet... in fact, you'd still be aching to play it all the time
