<t>OK, let's talk about this from the aesthetical viewpoint. Personally speaking, I detest hex overlays in games and always keep them turned off. They're just plain redundant in a computer game, and for me take away from the immersive graphical representation of the battlefield. Why on earth would a...

<t>About Panzer Campaigns from HPS:<br/> <br/> There isn't a lot of replay value since they don't ship with many scenarios, and many that are shipped are either too huge to play (unless you are unemployed!) or are hypotheticals. Plus, there's no map editor, so nobody's making new scenarios for them....

<t>Kure is a small city in western Honshu (the biggest of the Japanese islands), which is today more or less a suburb of nearby Hiroshima.
