Excellent recreation of that portion of the conflict. Not sure if it's available somewhere for download as single player or hotseat, but either way, much appreciated!

Great post. As a person who had not watched TV, movie theater or cable (USA) in the past 12 years (besides hotel visits), we should look into this series.

Best wishes to all,

Never saw that problem, even on my old weakling of a rig. Hopefully, someone will take care of you at customer support. Not sure if the support team is back from their vacation, though.

Serious stuff, indeed. I couldn't run it on my old rig, so will give it a try on my new system, which will certainly outlive me.

And then there is ICBM/Escalation to consider.

Anyway, God bless you all - and no nuclear wars for real, right?

It's good we are honoring his passing on this forum. Mostly I remember the wargame reviews he wrote for magazine Computer Gaming World, probably mid/late-1980s.

Thank you Erik and Ranger Joe for remembering.

Bob Russo, KIA, The Hürtgen Forest, late September 1944.
Daniel Russo, Silver Star, after returning from a suicide mission upon hearing of his brother's death.
Louis Russo, Military Policeman, and highly decorated NYPD officer.

So many stories out ...

Hi! I'm a new guy coming into the wargames community, since I've played CMO, my interest in wargames has started to grow, I'm still playing CMO now and it's awesome! Recently, I think hex-based wargame caught my attention as well (old school style, since CMO is more of Radar style wargame), at ...

I tend to agree with Budd here that things will get straightened out. I have pretty much everything running on a 10-year-old PC at this time, so will be due for re-installs soon!

In my very humble opinion, this should have happened a few years earlier, except for maybe the understandable pride of ...

Thanks you guys for watching our backs on these issues.

AVAST can sometimes drive me absolutely crazy, but truth is the app has probably saved by 10-year-old dinosaur from an early extinction. God bless you all!

Well, God bless you and your Mama, Bob!

This game remains legendary, and I'm still trying to free up time to due it some sort of justice. And I continue to fawn over the original paper manuals from TalonSoft (once in a while). Memories are important when you get to me my age.

Yes, I do remember long ago - and maybe it's been over a year or more - the developers promising they would cover Tet in a future update. And today that update has arrived!

With very few exceptions, most of Matrix active developers continue to support their games for years on end. These efforts ...

Thanks Ryan for stepping up to the plate and doing all this for us.

Also, appreciate your warning on the large file. I'm nursing a 10-year-old Dell - they never die, in my experience - but woefully short on the graphics card and even space with two SSD's attached.

Again, thanks and best wishes ...

Understandably, the SC ACW release had huge challenges in terms of balancing. But again, and as for this game, there is an editor, so single-ply joy should be relatively easy to come by.

And yet, and as always me knowing nothing, I wonder how much different this game is compared with WaW with the ...

Ha, what took you so long, Hellway?

I'm sure you'll post a link when all is ready.

And God bless you, as well.

Mike

It was one-unit-per-hex in the previous ACW title, and it "didn't feel right at all," to quote the previous poster.

Here's a link on what did "feel right" in this guy's review:

My interest level in AARs in general has declined with my age and brain power.

But I like this one - punchy, funny, and easy to digest.

Thanks!

Wow, just downloaded this tactical game and will try it later.

Now, your game WarDoom on Steam is also great. One problem for many of us is that the market is so flooded with games these days - and most of our time is somewhat limited - that we have trouble finding the time to go deep on your ...

Got it for 50p - found an old XP laptop to run it on.

Won - yay! - first time I've played, let alone won at Risk for, about 60 years. Suddenly my favourite game

Now, that is funny! Also, love the cardboard counters above. Best wishes to you all.

I've put more time in Hearts of Iron IV than any computer game in 35 years except Steel Panthers. Probably the ability to text-mod the darn thing. But at some point, I did hit a brick wall, and that was it. Also, never bought a DLC and IMHO, I missed nothing. ;)

I'm tempted on Dom 6. And ATG, I ...
