<t> The complexity level will be lower in WAW and I would say there will be much less micromanagement then HOI. Paradox Games has been criticized in Reviews for not providing a way to allow the computer to handle the lower level decision making. Matrix provides the complexity but allows the player ...

<r> What do people think of the prospect of a WITP style game for the West Front? Feasible not Feasible... Good points bad points... <br/>
I think 2by3 should get cracking on it! It could possibly be the most amazing West Front gaming experiences of all time if done. Another interesting thing it ...

I have not been to this forum for a few days and remember a discussion on how long it takes the AI to make a move. How long does it take--a minute, two minutes, longer?

<t> I am enjoying it also and I am learning so much that I want to study General Patton's career in much more detail than before. I have one comment though (and would especially like Von Rom's and Iron Dukes comments on my comment); no general can pick his opponent; he has to play the cards he is ...

Kharkov, are you aware that you can set everything to computer control? You don't need to manage anything. Go to the sector map, click Computer Control for all the zones, then go into the main map and you can individually ...

I didn't mean to be so hard on HOI, it was certainly a great achievement to pull off a continous time game on that scale. I just don't think it worked. <br/>

What I think it needs is the ...

<t> Montgomery was a good planner and adept at set piece battles but manuver and tactical elan were not his forte. His slow, methodical method of warfare put him at a disadvantage against an agressive enemy like Rommel. Montgomery won at Alamein because of a massive supply advantage over the Germans ...

And you think wives don't like wargames? My wife has a fantasy of taking care of me while playing WITP. Of course, it is not available yet for DD so I don't get any until then. Another reason to hurry up Matrix.[X(]

Don't feel bad about your service career, HFO. I was in the Air Force from 1969-1973 in Base Supply/Equipment Management. A lot of guys posting here were regular service in the combat arms. But we all made a contribution to our great nation.

"Keep them Flying"

Thanks for the post, sprior. I have wanted the complete lyrics to this tune ever since I heard it sung by some GIs in the film "Guadalcanal"(?).
