I like pushing counters around. If I wanted someone to move my forces for me then I'd just play HTTR or COTA.

In this respect, and at this level in game tech, an IGO-UGO system remains better able to replicate the uneven activity levels of the sides better than the WEGO alternative, IMO. This may change one day, but someone has to come up with the mechanism ...

<t> I wouldn't say its a vehement disagreement with the IGO/UGO system, its more of a disgruntlement. One can probably count on two hands the number of games released which use the WEGO system. Not counting the continuous-time games which are a different animal entirely.<br/>

Yes, and I have both and I love them. The point of an updated battlefront using the old battlefront system would be to allow a PBEM game that also ...

You are right about the original Battlefront. It did use a very diferent approach but our experience was that a lot of guys just didn't want to play that way. I can still rememeber getting marked down in reviews for our approach ...

<t> According to the "Designer's Notes part 2" thread you have to move every individual counter now. Its certainly too late to change that, but, given that the old Battlefront had such an innovative system for command and control, why didn't that get ported to the new battlefront? We certainly have ...

+1 for CAW
You would definitely corner the market in Carrier wargames. Of the recent games I think at last count there were ..... none.

<t> My memory isn't what it used to be. I only am now starting to remember the old Battlefront engine from the 1980's. I played one - Halls of Montezuma. It was great in that the concept was so different from the usual wargame 'move counter 1...move counter 2...move counter 3...' process. In that ...

<t> I'm glad for SSG and might even pick this one up. But to be honest I was hoping for a revamped Carriers at War. Perhaps one with a campaign mode or additional scenarios covering the South Pacific. Or at least a mission editor so we can make our own scenarios. Its been 13 years! Won't someone ...

<t> I decided to try out the Soviet campaign and got clobbered in the first scenario. Part of the problem was that my AT guns decided they should fire at maximum range. Thus they gave away their positions and opened up with minimal effectiveness to the Panzers. Is there a way to tell them to hold ...

I haven't checked in to the Lock 'n Load news for a while and now I see there's going to be a PC version! Hurrah! I'm in for this one. Can't wait to see what other ideas Mark has hiding up his sleeve. An LnL expansion for CATs and Futuristic Fighting Forces perhaps?

Perhaps now we can see some tantalizing screenshots from the final version?&nbsp;Or a beta AAR from head-to-head PBEM play? Pretty please?

<t> Another vote for contour lines. This time speaking as one who is slightly color blind. I sometimes have a hard time distinguishing the different shades on the map, especially when the shades are very similar - unless I am zoomed in really close and look very closely for any differences.&nbsp;The ...

<t> I also have played hex-based wargames in the past, but much prefer the HTTR and COTA style of play. I'd just like to chime in and say that in COTA, overruns really make me feel like I'm being overrun.<br/>

I was playing one of the scenarios last night, and I was in the unenviable ...

Just an update here, we are aiming for a release in the week before Origins.

A quick check of the intarweb shows that this should be sometime next week. Is this still achieveable? (crosses fingers)

showing them as 3 men does not bother me. I will continue to use my imagination, as I have done for all other wargames.
