<t> Not anymore. There was a time before server-based game ownership where you couldn't trust the new idea to last, and so a box was a necessary security measure for your games. Now? The online or virtual game ownership has more than proven itself. It is the only way I'll buy games anymore unless ...

I see no actual ships in this sim. I've little interest in a map game of symbols only.

It just doesn't matter. And I wouldn't take any advice or information from the NYT as being worthy. Of anything.

<t> 2by3 understand all this I'm certain. They are doing what they're doing (or not doing) for a reason. If it annoys you, write the game off for now, like many are resorting to. When it comes out, you can be pleasantly surprised. Or not. It's not that big of a deal. It'll come out when it's ready ...

The bottom line is the outcome. If the game meets the expectations, no matter how disgruntled one is. It will sell many copies. I expect all the negative comments will be left behind and those skeptical will embrace the game wholeheartedly. So heres to ...

Personally I think the person who choose the name in both cases needs to let go of the obsession with big german cats.

<t> You're one of the most nationally partisan people on this board, Warspite. If you can't understand my points, coming from a lawyer, the problem is with you my friend. You're just throwing things out there to divert the real charges, and I typically have no interest in further debate with someone ...

<t> I have watched the first 20 minutes or so of the video and do appreciate the first scholar's remarks about the "Greatness of Napoleon". All true. I will go back to watch the rest when I have more time but what I heard of the second gentleman's thesis was that "there was so much more Napoleon ...

<t> Whenever it comes to Napoleon, I discount *everything* said or written by the British. Their visceral hatred of the man prevents all objectivity. I don't know who did Warspite's video, or what it claims, but if it's British or "modern" I have no interest in revisiting the topic with them. I ...

I didn't watch your video, but I did see a rating of military leaders throughout all of history and Napoleon was in first place by quite a wide margin. No contest, really, and I would agree.

So be it. We strongly disagree. Play what you enjoy.

<t> My point is that wargamers typically need the same kind of feedback and excitement level from games as other genres do. Oh sure, unit counters aren't "sexy" but the action of a turn-based IGO-UGO game is enjoyable among all gamers. It's the system I'm talking about, not genre features. What I'm ...

<t> Here's another tip: If you want a WWII tactical 3D WEGO game, Matrix has already given it to you! It's Panzer Command Ostfront! Try it and see if you like it; its pacing, its terrain depiction, its realism, everything about it. Give me some in depth reviews about how you loved this game! It was ...

Here's the good thing about IGO/UGO: When I move a unit, it really moves and engages in combat.

<t> Here's the counter to you 76mm: If you rely on an AI SOP to resolve the "time slices w/o reaction", are you even playing the game? Why not just click on a point on the map and have the AI handle all the movement and combat! It would be realistic: No overall commander had the ability to "move ...

<t> Let me just say for the record that in concept I don't have a problem with the WEGO rubric. It's the plotting I hate, hate, hate. That is why I love GG's "War in the East/West" far more than I do "War in the Pacific" which I just can't seem to tolerate.<br/>
