RE: What is this?

<r> Hopefully it's a game built on (much of what was) privateer's bounty -- minus the submarines and baloons, of course.<br/>

RE: ABANDONING THIS GAME - LITTLE INTEREST

<t> I've been able to play this game at a friend's house recently, and while initally hooked at the marvelous game system, I'm left feeling a bit empty while playing it. Maybe it's due to the fact that it still looks like a tabletop game, and I've grown to accustomed to games like Steel Panthers ...

problems with MC and v8.4?

Of course, this likely only applies to the random campaigns like WWII or Long campaign.

I'd hate to take a platoon of scouts alone into one of the pre-made campaigns! :)
