The people making Lock On Modern Air Combat have spent something like 3 years working on that thing, and it will sell for about $40-$50. And, personally, it will provide me with as many hours of entertainment as WitP.

<t>I too want Matrix to take in goobs of money . . .<br/>
<br/>
so long as it isn't mind. (that is the other part of free enterprise)<br/>
<br/>
Personally, I am not a big fan of the "buy their game so they stay in business" charity that seems to be the mindset of many gamers. Yes, I support Matrix ...

Because, in the eyes of the average consumer, 69.99 is $10 cheaper than %70.00

$69.99 is only too much if I want to buy it.

How exactly does the game flow? Me Go you go, simultaneous execution of ordes, continuous time?

The Long Island can support air ops if the squadron is very small.

<t>What I want to know, is how come everyone plays scenario 17 as opposed to 16 (or whatever the historical grand campaign is). Even if we accept the fact that Midway did not happen, 17 and 19 are pure fancy, as the US would under no circumstances have tried a campaign in the South Pacific in the ...

What's wrong with Black Sheep Squadron? Sure, its not historically accurate by any stretch of the imgination, but it was a show about World War II fighter planes.

<t>The IJN's plan at Midway was worse than complicated or convoluted; it was in fact possessed of the most dangerous atribute a operation plan can have, that of being contradictory to its own goals.<br/>
<br/>
First, the IJN plan depended on surprise, yet they neglected to take the steps to insure ...

The US and Commonwealth would still have won, but it could have provided some intersting what if scenarios.

That did the trick. Of course, to test it, I had to switch my CDRW drive to master, as my DVD drive died on me.

<t>When I try to run the game (either fromt he Matrix menu or .exe file itself) I get the little hourclass icon on the mouse cursor and the Ctrl-Alt-Del menu shows Uncommonvalor running for a couple of seconds, but then it simply stops running (dissappears from the Close Program Menu), and, of ...

<t>Tanaka was arguably the best surface commander of in the IJN if not of all the combatants. As for his tactics at Tassafaronga being obvious, well, a careful reading of military history will reveal the difference between great and poor commanders is the former's ability to discover and effectively ...

<t>I had two IJN subs sitting of Nomea. First, I sent out the SCs, but their experiance was so low that they tried to engage in gun battles withe IJN subs and got generally got sunk. Then put a ASW DD or two in the SC task forces, and the subs simply submerged and sank the DDs, and the surfaced the ...

Well, I chose Coral Sea for my first run of the game. I gained a decisive victory by sinking the Shoho, Shokaku, and one DD, and only losing a DD in return. I never did find the tranpsorts, but I suspect the Japanese withdrew them after I pummeled their air support.

<t>Matrix will get away with charging anything short of 3 digits for the simply fact that UC is the ONLY game of its type made int he last ten years for computer, and frankly, if they want to charge high prices or skip manuals, they have every right to do so. Furthermore, since I am an avid PTO buff ...

<t>The manuals I am refering to (Sid Meier's Gettysburg, European Air, 1942 Pacific Air War, Silent Hunter, Falcon 4.0, Great Naval Battles) did not tell you how to win, but they did give some hints for getting started, and the background material and tips that were included added to the atmoshpere ...

<t>I don't mind paying $50.00, but it would be nice if that price included a manual. Now I will have to spend another $5.00-$10.00 printing and binding the manual (I am not about to just read the online manual). Personally, one of my favorite part of getting a new game is getting to a brand new ...

His counterattacks with he 4 DRC failed because he was outnumbered and unsupported. He did the best that was possible under the circumstances.
