<t> Dawn of War is kind of special, you know... <br/>
It's WH40k - and it's so far the best looking representiation of the Warhammer/Warhammer 40k universums available (with "Dark Omen" close behind). It looks great (zooming in to the battle), it sounds great ("There is no such thing as innocence ...

You're right to some extent, but some elements have attracted comment. For example, Zetterling has criticised Bartov's supposition that the Eastern Armies suffered uniformly higher casualty rates than the units in the west. Bartov thought this bred ...

Depends on who you look at. Omer Bartov's <I><s>[i]</s>Hitler's Army<e>[/i]</e></I> takes an unconventional and deeply unpopular look at Wehrmacht motivation and combat performance and concludes that brutalisation and fanatical Nazi ideology were the ...

Don't fully agree here. The Heinkel He-111 may officially have been designed as a civil airliner (and indeed a few were operated by Lufthansa) but it was always intended for military service. It's a reflection of its usefulness that it ...

<t> One comment on the supposed "elite" character of the early German SS formations...<br/>

You can roughly divide German Waffen SS development on 3 periods. <br/>
<br/>
In first period units like LAH mot regiment/division and various SS battalions and regiments were more considered as ...

Here is quite an extensive review by a player who has played a few games of HoI2 (and he's not too happy with the game):<br/>

What is the best thing you like about HoI2?

Replayability and modability. It's funny to learn this game - testing different approaches to the same problem (like making Kriegsmarine prime weapon for Germany, or not attacking West at all ...

Just a couple more questions:<br/>
<br/>
1) You mention that the USA player will need to establish bases for supply, etc before he is able to advance on Japan. This does add a layer of complexity.<br/>
<br/>
Is the AI, playing as the USA, able to handle all this extra ...

Sure, pasternakski comment, on the other hand, was very good. [:D] [;)]

This thread is degradating in fast rate... Maybe it would be better to close it for a while, until some people chill out? [8|]

10%?? Players will have full editing capability with the SC2 Editor, plus the ability to create new maps and new games. The question may well be whether HOI2 has the modding potential of SC2. [;)]

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".

<t> I thought we are wargamers here - who doesn't care for gfx, but what is beneath it? [;)]<br/>

Believe me, it's new game. Paradox simply gave up an idea of making same game with better, flashy gfx, focusing on the real things instead.<br/>
