Thanks for the info, Joel.  Really looking forward to it.            

Neato! 

Very psyched to see this.  

Thanks, Acacius. A lot to devour there - love the train! Can it be destroyed?

<t> Heh. After the experience of the W@W beta, I feel for you JosephL. One screenshot becomes the game. [:)]<br/> <br/> I take it with a grain of salt. Tanks have horribly thin top armor and I would think they'd try to leave an area getting that heavily saturated (especially if they are green tanker...

Oh, yum! Thanks very much!

Erik has some interesting comments on this in the Soviet gameplay thread.

(Speaking of that thread...how did I manage to convince myself that the Soviet force involved wasn't Guards when that's stated in the text entering this forum....)

<t> It would certainly be interesting. Flames of War (the miniatures game, which is a neat diversion even if I tend to disagree with some of the things they've done) has a blocking detachment unit, but luckily doesn't have to worry about the ESRB. [:)] The mechanics there allow for re-rolling of mor...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Erik Rutins<br/> <br/> Wodin,<br/> <br/> Yep, Bruce has a copy. [8D]<br/> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: wodin<br/> The game tries to depict the different doctrines used by the two sides, wherein the Germans are more flexible but more easily disordered, while the S...

Thanks, Erik. I like the sound of it!

<t> Erik,<br/> <br/> What are we going to get in terms of Soviet troop quality, and what is the game's overall approach to troop quality? I don't want to use CMBB terms, so I'll use conscript/recruit/trained. I would assume that the bulk of Soviet infantry would be mostly recruit, with some conscrip...

<r> I hope so too. I realize my message can be read the wrong way, so let me clarify - I think the bar will be to make sure this game has simple and accessible gameplay, but with tactical depth. If you do that, then, for me at least, it should be a joy, whether or not it has every vehicle ever built...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Andreas1968<br/> <br/> Hi<br/> <br/> I think I know the answer, but I am going to ask it anyway - will there be a Mac version?<br/> <br/> Thanks a lot in advance for the answer. It looks like you have a very interesting product with a lot of potential there.<br/> <...

<t> Looks great. I know you say it's not trying to be the next CM, but honestly that's going to be the bar in terms of gameplay. Most of the complexity of CM was under the hood, and it played simply.<br/> <br/> Anyway, it looks great, and I'm moderately pumped to see it! (Especially since CM won't h...

Yes, good show O.

Had my first game also crash in a battle between the French w/ Napoleon and the Austrians + Russians, right at the end as I had them on the run.

GGWaW doesn't have windows' mode

Check again. W@W has a windowed mode, both in the options menu and using the -w shortcut.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Uncle_Joe<br/> My opinion would be to definately post the things that you would like to see improved. <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE> <br/> My point is that some things have to be played before you know whether they need to be improved.

<t> I wonder if we're being overly hard on the game, suggesting it needs to be toughened up based solely on beta reports. My experience posting AARs for W@W leads me to believe that we, the non-testing public, tend to overemphasize things. <br/> <br/> In order to correct this, we need to play for ou...

Tangent: Gary Grigsby & Co are making American Civil War based on the World at War engine.

<t> So...how does this game work? It seems most mainstream games (total war, etc.) work on the "conquer the world" principle where you have to take all or a substantial amount of territory on the map and hold it.<br/> <br/> Reading the AARs, it seems CoG is more focused on fighting wars than on taki...
