Dragon Age is by Bioware, who created the modder's dream Neverwinter Nights. I'm sure that I'll be picking it up sometime this winter just because I have enjoyed every one of their RPGs (nearly as much as I enjoy Bethesda's).

Are you the Seydlitz from the Gamesquad-Forum?

Nope, never been to that forum. But I have been Seydlitz on forums for about 15 years.

Ever had your subs do anything in Jutland?

Not really. They immediatly start to dive and dissappear from the tactical battlefield after a short time and if they are close to a surface fleet they fire some torpedoes. I have 1 sub damaged by coastal artillery and have sunk one by a lucky hit at the beginning of a tactical battle.
Only the UC-Minelayers can be used directly by the player and they are busy in the channel.

Front office football 2007 - because the Cowboys need more rings.
Forge of Freedom - by Matrix Games. I like it very well. Is also challenging. An excellent game.

These two were my favorites before WitP AE.

And in between, just to relax:
Evil Genius - is funny! Great Game. Unfortunately, many bugs.

Rare but still every now and then:
Battle of Britain II "Wings of Victory"
Nascar Racing 2003
NHL East side hockey manager 2007
Jagged Alliance 2 Wildfire
UFO: Extraterrestrials
Galactic Civilization
X Reunion
Chess

Last week I purchased Close Combat - The Longest Day - Download and CD.
I still know the original. I still like it.
I have played about 2 hours, well, then returned WitP AE.

The purchase of the games listed above I don´t regret. For me they are all worth the money.
Over the years, I will still collect a few other games that really played so infrequently that I haven´t mentioned here.

Actual I´m interested in Gary Grigsby's Eagle Day to Bombing of the Reich.
But I can´t find a demo and even not a good and honest review. So I don´t now is it worth to buy.

With my new system I lost many games I loved. They won´t work no more.

But however - WitP AE rules! [;)]
With the box and the purchase should come a warning:
"Playing can harm your health and your social life" [:D]

Fallout 3 (still fiddling with a modded version of Vanilla and have yet to buy the Game of Year Edition); I'm also in two Crown of Glory Emperor's Edition PBEMs (playing Russia in both). Starting to miss my old Civ days and wondering when Sid will produce Civ 5.
The x-ray is her siren song. My ship cannot resist her long. Nearer to my deadly goal. Until the black hole. Gains control...

HPS Squad Battles series, CIV4 Colonization,Fallout3,War Plan Orange.
My wish list: UV given the AE treatment more than the planned tactical mod, and I sure wish someone would come up with a new WW1 air combat sim.

WitPTracker AE...

Couldn't resist [:D]
Delete the trackerdb.* files.
Copy the pwsdll.dll file from the game folder to the WitPTracker folder.
Try running the WitPTracker.bat again.

Haven't gotten AE yet (projecting after Thanksgiving, have a bit of Christmas shopping to do yet), but outside WitP? Well, I have a money consuming hole in the water otherwise known as a boat. Usually go shooting on Sundays. As far as computer games go, Alien Crossfire, Tropico, Dangerous Waters, Simutrans, TACOPS and Galactic Civilisations II are pretty much the others.There were a number of others, but most won't run right on post Win III operating systems. 
 
I am looking forward to figuring out AE after finally getting somethingof a handle on WitP. It will be interesting to experience the new AI (scheduling and personal preference confine my activities to AI play).
