Funny you mentioin that, Hertston. If it weren't for the Alexander the Great movie by Oliver Stone (who knew it was going to be so awful?), we were going to do Tin Soliders: Battles of the Bible as our first game. Unfortunately, it would have ...

<t> True, a Biblical Wars game would be pretty cool. But if there is a TS3... I just thought of something. Instead of making small games, one theme at a time, why not put the effort into putting together the complete miniature experience? Make it cost a bit more, but include all sorts of armies and ...

<t> I mean, for the game after the Julius Caesar one. And I agree with the Hannibal suggestions, since I'm not crazy about the Romans, it would be nice to crush them with my elephants for a bit. [:'(]<br/>
<br/>
But still, I think the Peloponnesian Wars would allow for a ton of fun if the ability ...

Be very careful of 25mm ancients. Although some use 25mm, 15mm is very much the standard and you will find a much bigger choice of figures in that scale. In my own experience (again only in the UK), I never met <I><s>[i]</s>anyone<e>[/i]</e ...

A (historical) Spartan Army is particularly tricky as your core Spartiate units come expensive. Not generally as expensive as historically they should be (making any unit that more effective than equivalents distorts gameplay too much), but ...

I finally figured how to copy from a pdf (Continuous page) So I had my bathroom reading and am now on battle 3 of the campaign. A very good game.

Quick tip... when you have chosen your period and scale, pick an army that isn't overly common. Firstly, it helps in getting games (the umpteen guys with Napoleonic French armies always welcome the bloke with the Prussians), and secondly ...

<t> I personally think it would be amazing if Tin Soldiers had a sequel (although going backwards in time) that used the Peloponnesian War for a campaign. It would be really cool to be able to battle as any of the participants (to allow for much more replayability than Alexander the Great, letting ...

I suspect even if I did I would find the whole thing a little tedious after playing computer wargames for so long, against both AI and human opponents.

But... does the computer you offer the atmosphere and the ...

Does anybody here actually play real miniature wargames? Personally, I've been really interested in starting up an army and getting into playing. But since I have nobody to really play with (I'm looking around for places in Toronto, but no luck so far) ATG is all I have for now.

<t> Well, this "frustration" turned out to be a good thing after all. I went back and played Granicus again... this time I SMOKED Memnon and got a Major victory worth 595 points. Oddly enough... I didn't really get all that ticked off with this, I just got happy again as soon as I started playing ...

<t> I can't believe this! I was just about to to beat the Granicus mission, I was about to finish off Memnon's final troops, so I press escape to check save my game... and the game FREEZES.<br/>
<br/>
WHY?!?!?!?!?!<br/>
<br/>
My autosaves for some reason take me to the troop placement screen ...

Ok, this is strange. Now that I restarted my computer it worked perfectly fine. I guess it was a one time glitch or something. But still, this could be something to look into as it might happen again since I am not the only one who has experienced it.

Same thing just happened to me, as I was loading for the Granicus battle, it just hangs at 50%. I haven't noticed any ping noises, but it just sits there at 50%. Has a solution for this problem been found?

<t> And the purchase has been made! I am now a proud owner of Tin Soldiers: Alexander the Great. The download is just over 50%... I can't wait for it to finish. And in a few weeks at most, I should have the box in my hands. Sure it cost me an extra $15 Canadian, but I'm one of those people who just ...

It's available both for download and as a boxed product via our online store, which ships to anywhere in the world. There is both a US and a European warehouse, so if you want a box shipping will be lowest in those two ...

Ahhhh... that explains it. No wonder why all the employees at FutureShop stared at me funny when no record of the game popped up on the computer. [:'(]
