Well, I'm convinced. To not buy it. Thanks aaatoysandmore.
Yup, me too. And I'll tell all of my griefer and troll friends not to buy it either...
I can put up with the formation oddities. I'm not a programmer. The best I ever did was to get one to count to 10. So I can't say if it's easy to fix, hard to fix, or not fixable.
But what I won't put up with is the grief I've been reading here. Don't really want a game that causes people to do that.
And I *like* Napoleonic games. Given a choice between say, Campaign Waterloo and Campaign Gettysburg, to play, it's the former. Every time. (Both are John Tiller games )
Give me a break. What are you talking about "grief" ?????? Have you been harmed in some way because of a few comments??????? If you don't have all the facts, and you don't, it would be prudent to exercise a level of restraint before you make yourself out to be some kind of victim.
Some Sow players are a bit defensive. Does it matter that there is a large number of players who not only like SOW games, but are more than willing to step up and sing its praises?
I have played 100s of games.

Do you think that we play and put up with some kind of circus game? Again, you don't have all the facts.
The player must learn how to operate his troops by keeping them in good order. It is a very playable and realistic game. It is not a table top game. Big difference here.
Waterloo needs some tweaks. Gettysburg is better (for now), but the tweaks will come and more smooth play will happen. There are new tactics that this game is bring forward. Give it a chance. It "is" a very playable game as is. Tweaks "will" make it better.
I highly endorse the game. If you like SOW GB you will Waterloo. The opposite is also true.
So forgive us for liking and promoting SOW.
