RE: *RANT* about STEAM let me know what you think

I used to be a total war fan but with the last 3 titles requiring steam, I was not game(no thank you sir or mam!) All DMR has done was eliminate the used game market and made all sales a guaranteed one time deal.

RE: WitP lovers report in

I started a new game this January while recovering from surgery. This is a great game to play when you are not in the mood or physical condition to play click fest RTS games like Medival total war or Company of heroes. As far as the pilot bug goes I micro manage all my squadrons.

RE: Pain in the proverbial !!!

<t> I have another problem and will post later when I'm home. But I have found in this game and the old COG that I got less militia spawn by reducing the draft ages. 18-35 or 20-35 from 18-60?

RE: San Diego, CA

<t> The hanger deck was spacious but it allows them to conduct ceremonies out onto the aft port elevator. They had two CFS2 simulators and one other that I did not get a close look at. I and my 12 year old were so thrilled with the simulator I did not noticed what the other one was about.<br/>

RE: Shattered Sword book reviewed

<t> A big myth breaker for me was the only operational contegency planned for by the IJN was to not send a full all out load to hit Midway and placed a ready reserve of aircraft fully loaded in the hangardeck ready to meet any enemy fleet that might show up. But it was known that it would take a ...
