I understand your point about the British and French not ramping up as much. After all neither wanted war and, as leaders of democracies, they had to balance the books and unlimited spending on the military wasn't ever an option. BUT....<br/>

RE: New American Civil War Game coming to Steam

If anyone is interested -XTRG has a couple of videos up looking at the game on You tube.

from his video alone the scope of the game looks immense.

RE: New American Civil War Game coming to Steam

It looks really promising - the press release says scenarios with campaign starts at 1861, 1862 and 1863 plus 11 standalone battles. They plan to also include later an 1864 campaign star. I don't usually go for early access but I may make an exception here.

RE: Battle of Britain

I had the impression the 110 was ok at absorbing punishment which made it more suitable for going after unescorted bombers bombers such as in 1942-43 ?

Just finished the first series of "Zero, Zero, Zero" -all a bit grim - and definitely no good guys at all.

RE: seems many of us here weren't wrong

I know but there are dozens of "Gettysburg" games out there (or at least it feels like it). I am also not sure of how the game system would have coped with "Gettysburg" -individual scenarios of portions of the battle yes but the whole battle? Hopefully I am wrong on this latter.

For a $10 game I've sunk quite a few hours in already - addictive like the original "Patton's Best" - apparently the alpha for vers 5.0 comes out in a few days
