I saw... Even if it does release today, there'll be so many people "in the pipe" that it'll take forever to download it. I'll wait until tomorrow.

Eastern LOG!

Post by Nikademus »

havn't played an eastern front game since the days of "Second Front" on an 8088 PC. Must have played more Eastern Front games than any other genre during the pimple years. Then, like a faucet, the tap shut off (not counting "Steel Panthers").

Game looks nice. Might be time to return to the land of Manstein.....fitting given that i'm currently taking on the challenge of David Glantz's epic three volume triology on the Stalingrad/Blau campaign.

I've played The Gamers OCS "Enemy at the Gates" which is a great series.

interesting choice for a drinking movie. [:D]. I plan on watching "The Pacific" tonight whilst in an inebriated state. (I find it cuts down on incidents of 'historian-itus')

absolutely no chance of this with Blade Runner.

The biological argument. Any discussion of the role of sentience in 'life'?

I'm concerned that it, like most games of its kind, would not capture the things that really make that part of the war fascinating for me. To put it frankly, that war was not about who had the better tanks although that aspect certainly played a role.

Is there a demo version I can try?

Maybe just hack the security and then complain that it doesn't match up to your expectations...

Must I complain publically? Cause that guy really looked like an idiot. [:D]

Is daughter unit drunk too? I can imagine the fortitude it would take someone of her generation to sit through that movie.

Hi all,
No demo (just as there was no demo to UV / WitP / WitP-AE)...

As for captivation I am 100% sure the WitE is very captivating and that playability is immense... there are simply so many different things to try for both sides...

And there are tons of variables that determine outcome (including very important "Lady Luck" [:D]) that tanks as just one weapon system are not that important in grand scheme of things...

I'd love to try it but I'm really afraid of an OAOW clone. [:(]
