Excellent Wargame, Money well spent!

Command Ops: Battles From The Bulge takes the highly acclaimed Airborne Assault engine back to the West Front for the crucial engagements during the Ardennes Offensive. Test your command skills in the fiery crucible of Airborne Assault’s “pausable continuous time” uber-realistic game engine. It's up to you to develop the strategy, issue the orders, set the pace, and try to win the laurels of victory in the cold, shadowy Ardennes.
Command Ops: Highway to the Reich brings us to the setting of one of the most epic and controversial battles of World War II: Operation Market-Garden, covering every major engagement along Hell’s Highway, from the surprise capture of Joe’s Bridge by the Irish Guards a week before the offensive to the final battles on “The Island” south of Arnhem.

Excellent Wargame, Money well spent!

Post by ElchDivision »

Hello,

after seeing that there are still users opening up new threads to complain about the price, I thought it a good idea to express my opinion of the game.

I downloaded it yesterday and its great. I only played the St. Vith tutorial using the great tutorial videos that go with it; and I spend the whole night, up until early in the morning, trying out different strategies. Now that I am sitting in the office I feel the effects of the lost sleep, but it was totaly worth it.

It runs beautifuly and fast on my little Asus 1201n Dual Core Netbook, which I hooked up to my Plasma TV later on. Looks great aswell and to have the map on 130 centimeters is a joy.

I have a mix of German 1930s and 40s Music (yes there was more than marching music), mixed with period radio broadcasts running in the background to get into the mood and to cut myself short...

THANK YOU PANTHER GAMES

Even after 6 hours I can say that it was money well spend.

Two weeks back I was in the cinema with my wife. Tickets, Popcorn and drinks went up to about 40 Euros. 2 1/2 hours, terrible movie (new Robin Hood), 40 Euros blown skywards for nothing.

The 80 Euros I spend yesterday already told as I have only scratched the tutorial.

By the way, should any fellow gamers be interested in the WW2 mp3s (hours and hours of play) let me know, there is no copyright on them, so I'd be happy to help out.

Best wishes to you all,

Robin

Hi Wodin,

I dont see the reason why you seem to take my posting personaly, but be assured i did not mean to adress you with it. You have opened quite a lot of threads about value and price (and on various forums) already if I am not mistaken.
So be assured I know that I do not need to tell you about how much is fair, it was not my intention anyway.
I just wanted to tell everyone how happy I am with a perfectly good product. I hope that is allowed.

Cheers

Rob

I just felt it might be thought I didn't agree that the game was worth the asking price as in you title it mentioned it was worth the money....

Sorry I take it back....apparently I berated you...if so accept my apology.

Hello Wodin,

apologies accepted and no offence take. Thanks for the friendly words.

Maybe we will find the time to have a game together in the future.
