<r> I wish games cost 5 times as much and never went on sale ever <E>:)</E><br/>
<br/>
Well I'd have less trouble with impulse buying <E>:)</E><br/>
<br/>
I'd have fewer games, that regardless of good or bad in the grand scheme of things I'd likely play more and store less.<br/>
<br/>
I've ...

<t> I just want to see IGOUGO and RTS dropped in favour of WEGO in everything.<br/>
<br/>
I'm bored of the weird notion RTS is somehow magically 'realistic' and turn based is prone to gamey in it's own way.<br/>
<br/>
Being made to make ALL your command choices and then click end turn and be ...

<t> Two things ensured D-day passed.<br/>
<br/>
Patton's fame and the German's inability to think he wasn't in charge, and he was actually wanting to attack Calais himself which is interesting in so many ways. And Hitler's sleeping schedule and how no one had the balls to TELL the Fuehrer anything ...

<r> Plan B is likely I try it on the desk top box (which currently is the unwanted uncle sitting in the corner hoping I don't kick him out of the house).<br/>

The motherboard you see is 'questionable' and from start to fully ready to operate is usually 30 minutes from power on to ready to go ...

<r> Sp Camo's version, to their credit, perform properly and correctly within my Windows 8.1 even seeming to have no overt mouse issues.<br/>
<br/>
Their releases though are based on the Steel Panthers 2 code where as the Steel Panthers World at War based release from Matrix Games uses the Steel ...

According to Google. you might want to avoid them like the plague.

<t> I'm fairly sure I used X-Mouse correctly, but nothing happened, or rather I still have no Artillery.<br/>
<br/>
Re Micromanagement. I tend to think giving each unit a turn by turn command is not the end of the world, now, giving each pilot a command might be. Micromanagement is only hell at ...

Ok I tried to register to get the arty bug details only to be told it has no interest in my email. I'm not getting an email if I am just wanting the arty bug explained. Any help would be appreciated.

<t> Had not heard of the arty bug, will look into that.<br/>
<br/>
It is true, it works in 8.1 although I find the spastic mouse still a bit of a nuisance issue although it seems lessened from what I recall.<br/>
<br/>
Just used my usual test scenario and encountered the arty bug effect.<br ...

<t> I was one of the people that actually MADE Matrix Games happen back in 2000.<br/>
<br/>
Yes we wargamers blathering away all day long for so long about only one game, sure DID make a difference.<br/>
<br/>
How much do I want Steel Panthers? You could have every last friggin wargame I own in ...

<t> I come from the same bygone era, and the thing is, today's kids are not as bad as they are being painted.<br/>
<br/>
Additionally, look at the problems with the world of today, the economic related ones. And now look at the ages of the people essentially responsible.<br/>
<br/>
There is ...

<t> There is little value, potentially no value, in mentioning anything connected to 'law' as law in one country may well not be law in another.<br/>
<br/>
And that is one of the reasons a law degree is particularly valuable, as even the lawyers can't really explain most of it.<br/>
<br/>

<r> In 2005 it was nothing for me to expend TB of data movement of video content, be it anime, or military documentary or just old movies.<br/>
<br/>
I had superior internet service for a fraction of the cost from the usual big names services (which I have no love for).<br/>
<br/>
Then Netflix ...

<t> Good point to some extent triple A.<br/>
<br/>
Often they just start all over again with games, that took a number of years to beat in to shape, all so they can just need to do it all over again.<br/>
<br/>
Drives me nuts that I can't just get a re tooled Steel Panthers right friggin now. I ...

One big problem with games that hit Steam is they will soon by up for pirate download. Whilst when just with Matrix it's unlikely they will get pirated. Checking out my hunch I've found Distant Worlds Universe already cracked and uploaded for ...

Gem games. On my tablet.

Recently bought Baldur's Gate Enhanced though for tablet.

<r> "I was able to download something Squad Leader and granted I can setup the pieces but nothing else happens."<br/>

That portion sounded vague, not sure I comprehended it accurately.<br/>

If you meant, you downloaded VASL, well VASL is just an interface to allow two people playing ...

Your opinion, and don't call me stupid. [:D] Nothing I want ...

<r> KISS principle actually understood.<br/>

I didn't start wargaming with something looking like War in the East or Fire in the East. I began with Tactics II and Third Reich.<br/>

<t> In my youth, a new wargame would be said to be 'coming' measured in years.<br/>
<br/>
When it was released, it might get a few new editions of the manual to correct glaring issues.<br/>

Today I think the market expectations are part of the problem and the speed required to bring to ...
