Nice sig boomboom. Ya find that gal in dogpatch yet? If not, here's hopin', and a happy Bday pal.

<r>You guys have made my day! LOL! Glad to hear that UV is still a part of your operations though we all I think understand you have other kettles on the fire. This upcoming patch has really got me intrigued. <E>:)</E> <br/>
<br/>
I am also looking forward to WITP. If it is half as good as UV you ...

How the HELL do you log out of these forums??!!??:mad:

<t>I understand that this is an operational game and the AI simulates the underling idiots in your command who follow your orders. What I would like to see is a version of THIS game with more control for the human commander. Kind of a cross between tactical and operational. Sort of like Avalon Hills ...

<t>You guys keep talking about how great a job the computer does of modeling the unpredictability of war and it is true to a certain extent. There are things in war like mechanical malfunction, weather, etc. that are out of the combatants control and rightfully should be modeled as best as it can be ...

<t>I think the fundamental problem here is trying to model human behavior in the games AI. It simply cannot be done with any real accuracy. The idea of an operational level game of this scale is fine, but the TF's and their aircraft should be controlled by the player and not some sporadic computer ...

<t>Now in both Flattop and UV you can tell your aircraft what targets to attack on land such as airbases, ground units, or airbases and they do it within the constraints of weather, leadership, etc. Thats cool for the most part. Though I think in Flattop your units were far more likely to complete ...

<r>I finally got the game two weeks ago. I havent posted because I have been busy learning the game and battling Yamamoto in the Operation IGO, scenario9. I must say that you 2X3 fellas and Matrix have done a great job on this game. It is a heck of a LOT of fun. It looks a lot like my old Avalon ...

<r>Anyone else notice the CVE suwanee and several others are sailing backwards! In a taskforce ship listing, click on one of the CVE's and the ships dialog box that comes up has a picture of the ship with the sound of it sailing along. I being an old salt did a doubletake when I noticed the wave ...

<t>I do also wish I had more control over what my CV's attacked. If my attacks had been more concentrated and focused I might not have the Saratoga on the bottom right now. <br/>
I also have some land based TBM's that have been set to Naval attack for at least 12 turns and still only attack land ...

<r>Thank you CurlyM, got your email with the manual attached. Already halfway thru it...<E>;)</E> Gotta get sleep now to prepare for game arrival. Dog is fed, got vacation time and sick days on books, Already divorced, lost wife 10 games back so no problem there... Hell, I guess Im ready! <E>:D</E ...

Hey allright! You guys know the area...hehe. Glad to meet ya. When I get the game we'll have to link up for a game. Heck, if you were still around we could start a weekly gamenite, maybe get the 2X3 guys involved.:p

<t>I am waiting on my copy too, should be here soon. I thought an early look at the manual would be very cool if someone would be so kind. Im really interested in seeing how much this game is like my old AvalonHill Flattops game. That was my favorite and despite popular opinion, it was NOT because I ...
