Ah, the key word here is "accidentally" [:D] Not sure if it will hold up, though.

I'm beggining to fell like JudgeDredd [:D], I wanted to wait a couple of weeks and I don't know if I'd be able to ait until tomorrow, is it really that good and addictive I fear this last one a deal more [:D][:D]

...i'm on my way Judge. I'll be driving up to your house in my Kubelwagen to interrogate the Mrs. onto why ONE MORE GAME is going to be the end all-be all[:-][:D].

This has to be one of the funniest things I have read in a long time. HellPatrol, you are making me want to purchase this baby right away. I also just bought John Tillers Campaign series last night so getting proper requisition forms from HQ might be a bit tough, if you know what I mean.

So many new games, so little time.

[:)]Well look at it this way, we are all suffering together[;)]. It sucks when i have a couple awesome games purchased at the same time...i get all flustered and irritable...I'm right in the middle of Midway(pun intended) and yet i am SO CLOSE to Moscow yet i am almost done with my Cross Of Iron campaign...and "what? schools out? Yeah, whatever...can't you see i'm thinking here?! Call me in September!"[:@][;)][:D]

Hehehe......... way to go Judgey!!!!!!!!!!!....

remember, plead the "Father's Day" excuse... it may work

[:D]I scoured all of England, Scotland and Ireland last night but no Judge. You must have moved to Ottawa[X(]...i'm coming Judge, you can run but you can't hide[;)].

I would have hopped all over this game a month ago, but I just ordered AGEOD ACW and Guns of August will be out in a few weeks. Maybe in the Fall I will get around to it since it is getting alot of good word.

I'm Tempted.....to go back and play the real thing... PG....lol

aaaaah the good old days [:D]

Nice looking graphics for it's age, too!

Game still has major work to be done.  AI seems is poorest I have seen in along time.  No action in the med at all.  No attempts to retake France.  No help in Greece from Allies.  Nothing happens in Libya/Egypt.
 
Graphics are adequate nothing to write home about.  No weather except in Russia.  No political results from invasions.  No diplomacy at all. 
 
PBEM which is the way to play this while they put in an AI would be great but it is undeveloped compared to other games.
 
I like the game but it is only really playable as PBEM or Internet at this time.  AI is barely adequate for you to train with for human opponents.
 
Hope they start putting out some patches quickly and make this playable since it has a nice size map and hexes.  Looks like real potential is undeveloped and regrettfully the players are not given an oppertunity to fix it since no mods.
 

I can concur with your points I think, now that I am in late 43 of my 1st game. I expect (and have heard) that the allies will invade in '44...but I currently fail to understand why they wait....

I mean, I have 3 fighter units, some garrison units and half a dozen regular units (a couple of which are low quality). North Africa is completely open, with no more than 4 units covering the entire North African front. Italy too...with a half dozen units (including garrisons). I have one foot unit marching across from Egypt through Isreal (or what it was then), declaring war on Iraq so I can grab it's 5 point oil point...marching towards Rostock (I think - southern Russia) declaring war on Afghanistan just so I can march through and grab the undefended production points in southern Russia.

There is no attempted AI invasion of Europe or North Africa and I've left them very, very open.

I'm not a big fan of PBEM, but the missing replay feature just makes PBEM pretty unplayable, beaing as when you get your turn back, you would be wandering aimlessly across the continent looking for what damage was done and wondering what did the damage....

I love this game, I really do. It's brought back great memories of a fantastic game.

The AI is fairly competent on the theatre level...but strategically it's a bit poor it seems. So if it's being attacked, it's pretty competent...otherwise, a bit lame.

But...that said, as I've said in another post, I don't really need the AI to do anything at the moment, 'cos I'm tied up trying to fight the Russians. The AI is still going to beat me...of that I'm sure. D-Day will come (apparently) and when it does I have nothing to fight with. I was desparately trying to secure Russia before June 44 and I will not...so I'm thinking the only thing I can do is rest some units and hold the Russians (but they will only grow!) and move these units to protect my borders and try and slow both enemies to hold Berlin and Rome.....

So the AI isn't THAT bad....it just looks bad, sitting there doing nothing. I am surprised there is no North African campaign going on.....

I expect, though, when I get proficient at the game mechanics, that there will not be much of a challenge here.....but it's ealry days.

Wait and see what the patch offers when it comes.
