I also have the box, and the lovely manual that came with it...both in mint condition.



Me too.

I will be very interested to hear from you HTTR vets how the new release compares with the original.[:)]

simovitch,

it's been awhile since I played it due to the fact the new UI since then has spoiled me and I find HTTR now difficult as I miss the new features since then.

However I'm sure you will get plenty of feedback, I'm also certain it will be positive.

Woot!

this is very exciting!!
oh goody oh goody!!![:D][:D][:D][:D]

I still actively play HTTR and COTA, along with BFTB...although the engine has evolved to what it is today, each game is IMHO is still enjoyable as a stand-alone product in its own right.

It will be nice however to play some of those classic scenarios with the new functionality and AAR.

It's really great to see HTTR to be revived this way. Let's face it, the added functionalities of COTA and BFTB made me neglect HTTR for quite some time. It will be with great pleasure I'll reconnect with this revamped HTTR. Price is absolutely fair and fine.

I'm waiting to compare it myself; I assume the new supply system will leave units stranded in Arnhem in more desperate straights than in the current game.

Yep, sure will. Enjoy![:)]

Same here. I still play it from time to time. Market Garden has always been one of my "favourite battles" of WWII.
I still use the excellent Strategy Guide as I find it usefull for both COTA and BftB.

In the end, seems like a fair price, especially since it sounds like we will even get the original HTTR strategy guide included. Looking forward to the release day.

oops? I

My first impressions are excellent: the new features give more depth to the game and the old features seem improved.

The scenarios I'm playing are interesting and engaging. Good work!

How's the play balance for the new HttR now that supply lines can be cut?

I am interested to know in which HTTR scenarios (apart from drops of troops and supplies ) does Allied air power feature at all in this HTTR upgrade?
My understanding is that as a result of local weather, poor liason and poor planning of the tactical air power role , Market Garden was the only operation in the NW Europe campaign which was fought by the allies with "air inferiority"--much of this self-inflicted.
On 19th September. for example, the airborne troops in Holland failed to get any close air support, whilst the Luftwaffe flew 125 sorties.

It's too early to tell. Up to now I played the Allies only (at painfully realistic delay and historical) and got 1 decisive victory, 1 marginal victory, 1 draw, and 1 decisive defeat. All the 4 scenarios have been engaging.

.....

The Allied air power is strong in "Joe's Bridge" scenario and weak in the others I played.
