[:D]The real crime was it took only 17 minutes...like butter!

"I'll ask out of morbid curiousity...
Does it have many colour illustrations besides the cover and the game logos?"

Yes, there are quite a few battlefield pictures, almost every page.

[:D]Umm...yep, so add $...[:'(]

<r> My personal tribute to the guys who made this game:<br/>
<br/>
Trip to Office Depot...$6.00 in gas.<br/>
Price for full-color print job, two sided, with acrylic(?) covers...$153.00<br/>
Command Ops:Battles from the Bulge...priceless.<br/>

<r> I Haven't stopped by here for awhile but i had to say IMHO this release was a bargain! I know the amount of work it took because i played ATD 1 to death...Brilliant! I may have felt let down in the past but this is real masterpiece enhanced/advanced and the extra scenarios are simply awesome ...

Got my box with only a CD[8|], sigh, this is why i gave up PC gaming...when will i ever learn?

A shame, but I do very much see it as less "bang for buck" compared to other titles I can grab.<br/>

<t> This title needs some, hell "a", small scenario. You are forced to just dive in and there's alot to do/absorb/rule changes etc. that makes it a tad overwhelming. I am tempted to play BF as a refresher but that's redundant...<br/>
I love the new changes but i don't know if i want to have to play ...

<t> I've had it since release, here's my take so far:<br/>
Very polished game with many enhancements to gameplay and ease of play. Some lovely changes/additions to the rules and combo's of DB & BF rules that make sense and for me are a great step forward. Of course, this leaves BF in the dust as it ...

RE: Case Blue & Iron Tide...
Both superb games i own along with my prized "The Devil's Cauldron" which is now going for $190[:)]. These monsters can hardly compare to a single map PC game[;)].

<t> Your observations are quite correct, it IS rather dead as compared to even Battlefront's release[X(]. People, myself included, expect more for their $ these days especially from SSG who spoiled us in the past. I bought it, i know i wasn't gonna[8|], but i do LOVE the changes and combinations of ...

<t> [:)]The map is gorgeous as always, perhaps better, i just loved the more colorful DB counters such as in BiN[8D].<br/>
I just finished the manual and i LOVE the changes made to the system, or combination of systems. It was the most exciting read i've had in a while and i look forward to playing ...

It's threads like this that make me further appreciate Matrix forums. [&o] I copy and paste good advice for my games from these threads and put them into binders. If I printed the manual out, I then put a section in the binder named "Matrix ...
