I requested that, since real time or turn based is probably the single most important point in deciding whether to buy a game or not, you put this specific piece of information in a prominent place; up front and in large letters.<br/>

I would add that the Axis were in a race against time to avoid being crushed...
&nbsp;
What would be interested would be to tinker with pre-war options, perhaps try Plan Z and delaying starting the war etc etc.

<t> It's the resource cost that cripples Germany... as it was in the real war. Germans were able to fix and rebuild what the Allies bombed, but in the end, it was so costly that it meant other areas suffered... I often struggle to have enough resources towards the end of the war as the Germans, and ...

Eric,
&nbsp;
Many thanks - have e-mailed you.

<t> Erik - Good suggestions! Many thanks.<br/>

Can't face another weekend of putting on an OS system and then dealing with the inevitable problesm... although to be fair, Vista was the most painless installation of an OS yet. The fact few of my games now work is besides the point!!!<br ...

<t> Yeah, I thought it might be too early for vista suppor at this time - we are both still running the same version of the game, but he is (wisely) still on XP.<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
That will teach me to be lured in by shiny new things!!! I expect I'll have to go back to XP as we both got the game ...

<t> Has anyone been using Forge of Freedom and Vista - if so, do you have full functionality?<br/>
<br/>
I am unable to load my friends PBEM saves - my machine hangs and will not load. Short of going back to square 1 and putting XP back on the machine, I was curious whether or not anyone else has ...

James Blair - RAF... as an older Brother I would have most likely ended up in bombers, whilst my younger Brother Peter would have most likely ended up in Fighter command.

I shall get the game and hope I make it!!!

<r> I think WW2 is best choice because of the relative parity both sides had at the tactical level.<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
Regardless whether Gulf War I was legit or not, how many want to play the Iraqi Army...? How much interest can there be when the odds are impossible?<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
Now ...

<t> I agree with the gripe - I'm new to the game, so I'm not familiar enough with the game to understand the combat odds fully, so I do need to drop units into an attack to see the ods - then decide if to initiatie the attack, or undo the move - but when the point unit gets stuck, that is not so ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: christian brown<br/>
the problem here is that it tempts you to purposefully lose damaged units in order to reap resources........[:(]

<br/>
Why is that a problem...?<br/>
<br/>
For the other side, they simply remove another enemy unit ...

Any way to use some of these graphics in A WORLD AT WAR?

Some of the jets and things would be nice for the later scenerios on AWAW when reserach levels start to climb.

25 December is Turkey day for the Brits... with digesting continuting until lunch time on the 26th.

would be nice to see flags for teh Hungarians, Bulgarians etc... as well as Italian fighter sprites instead of the ME-109 etc.

However, this is all chrome, and has no impact on game-play... but I like those sorts of details!

Norway of course is generally left alone. Perhaps thinking of this along the lines of "well that was stupid, I could have done it better myself" is the positive way to look at this.......

Should the Allies then ...

<t> Any 'official' revival of the series is good... I thought it died after CCV, becoming something only available to the military.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
Although I prefer the later series, I'm going to retain an open mind... after all, this is the only game that has outlasted sucessive computer ...

<t> I've had situations where if I play a game too much it invades my sub-conscious...<br/>
<br/>
It's only happened with Fallout II, which I was addicted too at university. If I was half-asleep I'd see the game interface, and start to see things in terms of points gained. VERY SAD.<br/>
<br ...

<t> Does this not represent Belgium and the Netherlands simply seeing the writing on the wall... Belgium is a useful short-cut into France, and perhaps it was easier to mobilse before invasion, rather than after it?<br/>

In other notes - check out 'GRAND ...

I'd pay for more icons - more jets, upgraded tanks... especially for those longer games where more exotic techs would be available.

<t> I'm now moving into 1947... Germans still hanging on in there, but the AI let off the pressure against Japan, and conseuqnetly, Australia and India have fallen. A video for the Japanese marching into Dehli would have been nice... the Japanese and Germans link up in Persia (another nice alt ...
