This game came out of nowhere a while back with the previews and AAR here. Got it almost immediately, and it's a great product! Fantastic concepts, execution and attention to detail. [&o]

<t> What a great game.<br/>
<br/>
After trying the Road to Minsk scenario a couple of times, I couldn't restrain myself anymore, and kicked off a 1941-1945 grand campaign as the Germans against the AI. <br/>

Reading up on the details I have missed as I go along. Seem to be doing OK so far ...

I wonder if games about WWI or France, June/July 1944 do that very well?

Important lessens has been learned by the Western allies such as: Russia is worthless so don’t waste time trying to ally with them in the future, mobility is almost irrelevant for victory bet on slow set-piece battles with huge amount of artillery, no ...

Also note that if you hover the mouse pointer over an empty hex with trenches present, the trench level will be displayed along the row with terrain info etc towards the bottom of the screen.

<r> I was flipping through <I><s>[i]</s>The Somme<e>[/i]</e></I> by Peter Hart at a bookstore the other day, and it looked excellent. Quite a massive tome that seemed well-written and with detailed and clear maps.<br/>

CEaW is programmed in JAVA. Does that make a different to say, using C++? Forgive me, since I don't know anything about programming.<br/>

Does using JAVA mean that things such as "IF, THEN, ELSE" can't be used?

Well, I think anybody who follows wargaming what-so-ever knows that Norm was working on the RJW. Perhaps, being the realist that I am, I saw no "handprint on the door"

<r> Absolutely amazing news, as TOAW: Century of Warfare is to my mind one the finest wargames of all time. Yet it could do with some fixes and improvements to make it even better.<br/>

Of course, getting hold of Norm Koger might be a good idea, since he apparently is sitting on improvements ...

Some gamers compared COG to EU and this comparison is sound.<br/>

Damn straight Damocles! Time to put it out or shut up!

He he he...just kidding. Really looking forward to trying it out. [:D]

EVE Online<br/>
Il-2 Sturmovik: Forgotten Battles + Ace Expansion pack<br/>
Civilization III<br/>
Morrowind<br/>
Starshatter (plenty more playtime when the Babylon 5 mod hits soon)<br/>
Mechwarrior 4 (plus Mech Pak)<br/>

<t> Make sure you have reqested landing clearance. This should switch your HUD to ILS mode (instrument landing system), as opposed to NAV or whatever. Of course you can also use the H key for this to switch manually.<br/>

Muah ha ha ha! This looks simply awesome, I love it!

Nope, no mods out yet that I'm aware of. Starshatter is still quite new, and modding isn't a quick process (unless your nick is DamoclesX on these forums, obviously). Keep your eyes peeled for the upcoming Babylon 5 mod though, this one looks to be the first major release...yay!
