RE: HEX OF STEEL : Great successor for Strategic Command 1

I don't have it myself, but it's included in the current Steam sale. Just thought I'd pass that on... [:)]

RE: General Discussions is moving to WitE2 for the rest of March :)

<t> Nah, I'll just stick around here. I found the original mainly stupor-inducing from the tutorial onwards, so it didn't take much time to end up gathering dust on my shelf. With all the perks, it didn't cost me much at the time, but I doubt I'll be shelling out for this next installment (since ...

RIP "Wild Bill". I fondly remember the pleasure I had when his SP scenario disks (3.5" floppies) would arrive in the mail, and really appreciated his insights and knowledge when it came to WWII battles and campaigns.

I understand that the pre-order is available via Steam and also GOG but I do wonder why it's not available directly through the Slitherine or Matrix stores. I was ready to "go for it" but I'm holding off until I can pre-order that ...

Thanks for this. [:)] I was collecting/reading these back in the 70s. Alas, they were left behind in England so I look forward to enjoying them again.

I'm also trying to get your custom campaign working and I'm just not getting it for setting this up. I've tried these 3 layouts below and it's not working either way. I've also tried changing WWII for WW2. Would you mind spelling it out for me? I'm really looking forward to ...

RE: What Book Are You Reading at the moment?

<t> Eagles at War by Ben Kane. 1st part of a trilogy based upon the battle of Teutoburg forest in 9 AD. I'm about a third of the way into it but I'm gripped. Excellent writing from the author and a fine eye for historical detail. Recommended to anyone interested in this period.<br/>

Business sets its own rules as necessary for survival. Not saying I support the way things are, just that I am more careful spending my ...

RE: Looking for good Anti Virus Software

If you really want to save some money just use Windows Defender that's built into Windows 10. I don't find it that bad and I also have Malware Bytes running. They actually do catch stuff when I wander off the path...

Hi,

If you're interested I still have the original HPS CD in well-preserved condition. I'll be away until Friday but could send it out then. $25 US + shipping from Ontario Canada. PM me if you want to set something up.

I restarted the DLCs a few months ago because of this and your mod is a major improvement to the whole experience. I'm up to 1942 but I've also gone back to the '39 one with this release because it really does add a more realistic flavour. I can't believe how ...
