I have to say I'm far more excited about the prospect of an ACW game using this engine than I am about the release of WaW.

Thanks, Erik and Robert. Much appreciated. [:)]

I feel its become embarassing to mention Close Combat Series and HTTR as an RTS. Those two games should never be mentioned in the same breath as any other RTS.

Marshall released a patch today to fix the bug.
PBEM AAR should restart shortly.

Has this started up again yet, Greyshaft?

Thanks for posting that interview. It does what it's intended to do - I'm even more excited for the game now.[:D]

Talonsoft's "East Front", "West Front", and "Rising Sun" were all isometric AND hex-based.

As are virtually all of HPS Simulations' wargames.

Luckily, HoI2 and GGWaW aren't competing games. They each fill a particular niche. Get both!

So basically you guys are concurring with the great reviews on Amazon? These things are pretty much what has been said there. I wanted to make sure I got the opinion of people I know are interested in the Great War though.

Off the top of my head I thought Keegans First World War was the best single volume on the entire war. As for continuing influence I think he did address that, although probably not to the extent you're looking for. Been so long since I ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>I'd be the first to agree, except that normally with a new graphics system comes a better user interface as well. (WiTP vs. PacWar as one example). And both would add value to the game and are normally part of any "remake".

Have these all been fixed in HoI2?

Most of them have been fixed in HoI 1, as a matter of fact. But don't let that stop you.

I also would love to be on the list, if possible.

What a fine idea! We really need a decent strategic ACW game.

Hear hear.

Great going, guys. I'm really looking forward to it.

Any ideas for a title yet?
