<r> The blocky pixelated look of this game engine has absolutely nothing to do with monitor resolution or zoom level. Look, for example, at the Avatar image for Joe98. Notice the zigzag staircase effect of the diagonal lines and the lack of smooth transitions during color blends. It's obvious that ...

<t> Actually I believe that these are the glory days of board wargames. I've just returned to the board game hobby after a couple decades playing exclusively computer games and I'm loving it. I bought a few games, found a local wargaming club and find that I enjoy playing a game that involves a real ...

<t> SP? Steel Panthers? It sure helps to spell out an abbreviation the first time it's used in a discussion. I haven't played Steel Panthers for a decade or so. I can't remember, in SP does a tank counter represent a single tank like in the Lock 'n Load system or a squad of tanks?<br/>

<t> Heroes of Stalingrad is based on a system originally designed for a series of board games. And, like every squad level WWII board game I've ever seen, I'm sure it allows for opportunity fire. It may be your turn to move but as you move your units from hex to hex your opponent has the opportunity ...

<t> I also find it frustrating to not be able to view or register for the Lock'n Load forums. It simply says that the administrator has disabled registration. Been that way for a long time. I recently pre-ordered a Lock'n Load game from their P500 system which makes me a real customer. I'd at least ...

<t> I really think that Windows has been the desktop standard for long enough now that game developers should design their games in such a way that they conform to Windows standards. It's not really hard. Look at TOAW, it's been around for ages and can be played at any resolution. <br/>

But ...

<t> Some people don't understand that LCD monitors have a native resolution. In other words the LCD screen is made up of precisely so many little square pixels that each can hold a distinct color. Typically 17" and 19" monitors are made up of 1280 x 1024 little LCD pixels while 20" and 21" monitors ...

<t> I don't post here very often but this is a pet peeve of mine. In turn based games time and distance really need to fit together logically. 2 turns a day on a 1 km hex simply does not make sense. It's too coarse. It allows units far too much freedom of movement within a turn. <br/>

<t> Are there no smaller scenarios in BiI?<br/>
<br/>
I'm not really fond of mammoth scenarios in wargames. It may sound like wargamer heresy but I find it boring in the extreme to manually plot moves for hundreds or thousands of unit counters each turn. <br/>
<br/>
I much prefer to play smaller ...

<t> The EULA clearly prohibites resale if it forbids license transfers. Basically the license to play is what you would be selling. <br/>
<br/>
On the other hand that part of the EULA may not be legal where you live. I believe that some states do not allow product licenses to prohibit resale. But ...

<t> You are almost certainly entitled to resell your copy of a game you purchase. You might want to read over the License for BiN and see if resale is explicitly prohibited. But, if not, you should be fine reselling it. <br/>
<br/>
One thing you could do would be to send Matrix an email notifying ...

<t> I'll weigh in with my opinion on the pricing issue.<br/>
<br/>
My personal gut feeling is that SSG and Matrix would be far better served in the long run if they priced BIN lower. It would make current customers happy, retain marginal customers and possible draw in a number of new customers.<br ...
