<t> The Devs really need to chime in on this one. I personally do not have the time to commit to a PBEM game and so hopefully have bought more than a 'Trainer'<br/>
<br/>
Seeing how Glory is so important to the game I would like an explanation for the above. <br/>
<br/>
Hopefully Mus has hit the ...

<t> Thanks all. That makes sense. <br/>
<br/>
I guess I just had the wromg impression. I though that 200K men foraging would mean them spread out, disorganised, not getting orders to move etc etc so the initiative to move strategically would be cut.<br/>
<br/>
I need to read more, which I am ...

<t> Hi all,<br/>
<br/>
Working my way through the manual and I came across this in 1.8.1 Unit Info and Controls<br/>
<br/>
"Units set to Forage will recieve a bonus to Initiative"<br/>
<br/>
As I understand it Initiative is the measure of how likely a unit is to fulfill it's movement on the ...

<t> Larry, apologies if my post sounded condescending, didn't mean it to be that way <br/>
<br/>
I too love a printed manual but with the advent of downloaded patches I have reluctantly realized that paper manuals become out of date way to quickly.<br/>
<br/>
Anyone else of a certain age ...

<t> Fair point but my point is that you do not see many games (war or not) with forums posts 2-3 years old about release dates. <br/>
<br/>
Here are my thoughts. Wargames players tend not to be FPS types who moan about a FPS then look for the next one. We tend to want to make the gaming experience ...

I appreciate your frustrations - but to be honest this game is not that complicated. I would suggest printing it out and then just annotate it manually with references to patch notes you can print out and add as an appendix.

<t> Must admit Sarge it does not exactly feel me with confidence - 1 part time programmer ?<br/>
<br/>
No offence but this project is sounding more and more like a shareware thing. If Matrix are not throwing staff at this where is the long term commitment coming from when it does get released and ...

Oh yes - this is the start of a beautiful relationship&nbsp;[:)]

Thanks for the honest reply Sarge.

Frustration is coming out because like most on this forum I cannot wait to get this game.

My idea is probably a non starter because no one else has joined the thread with any comments.

Good luck with it anyway.

<t> Sarge,<br/>
<br/>
I know you are putting a lot of work into this game, and I hate too ask, but do you think this project is to big for the team assigned it ?<br/>
<br/>
I am really keen on this type of game but every time I log on to check it seems no where near completion. There are posts ...

Keep going mate - superb AAR. Me, I am just trying to keep my losses low in Poland. [:)]

Edited for a question.

What are your thoughts on SMP's ? Did you find it a pain moving all the units West after Poland a chore ?

Chris

<t> I had some thoughts on Commanders as well - the HQ unit sounds good but would it start to distract from the simplicity of the concept. I understand that Leaders give benefits to units within a certain range so does that not reflect that they are a 'HQ' unit ?<br/>
<br/>
696's 2 and&nbsp; 3 ...

Agree on the 1-1 attack thing. There does seem to be a feature that lets you get the odds but I'm damned if I can get it to replicate.

To be clear. No auto attacks on left click.

<r> I have only just started to play this game but so far I am impressed. Huge map, great scale and, to me the most important thing, the game is written by obvious wargamers that have a commitment to their work. If you are one of those who want a perfect peice of software for your £25 then I would ...

Screen showing VP cities/Resource Hexes etc.

Good post Winky51.

I for one think this could be the WW2 game we have been looking for.

As long the developers keep up the enthusiasm we are on to a winner.

Chris

Well that reply took the wind out of my sails.

I spent ages doing the screenshots. Great game though.
