LOL what do u think I have been doing the last 5 or so years [;)]
So what is another few years?[:D]

'Close' Assault

h40

it was war in the pacific. now i'm blissfully happy, and my wife has forgotten what i look like.

I've been anticipating Empires In Arms for about a year now But it looks like light is at the end of the tunnel. There's also Battles In Normandy, which I'd bet is going to be here first, and World In Flames, which might take a little longer.

World In Flames might finally mean a real, tried and tested, complex grand strategy for WW2. That will make the wait worthwhile.

Well, including the obvious, ie. the game in my sig...

1.) GG WaW - this one I *know* is going to be great [:D]
2.) Empires in Arms - Napoleonic strategy, for a change, could be fun
3.) Flashpoint Germany - is it out yet???
4.) COTA - anything on HTTR engine *must* be good, but I think they would do better to have published this as add on mission pack for HTTR
5.) Battlefields has (had?) lots of promise but its' development cycle seem hectic and unpredictable at best
6.) Anything by GG even if it's in pre-embryonic, proto-alpha stage of development (UV Med?, WIR?) [:D]

World in Flames would be on the list as well, but it'll take aeons to finish (IMO). Guns of August - could be "sleeper", WW1 game is badly lacking, but graphically, what screens I saw at Adanac site, it sucks [:-]. It'll take lots of work from Marc and Matrix graphic dudes to make it look like a game that should be played in gaming 21st century.

Frankly I'm not that hot on Combat Leader (don't see anything exciting or new in this title, could be wrong though), nor on any new sequel to Squad Assault series (if it becomes series). GIC and EYSA were disappointing IMO. Also, various SF side-projects don't interest me all that much, but surprises are possible. I tried Massive Assault, and it's a fun game, well executed in some aspects, but misplaced in a sense. Korsun, BIN - I utterly failed to see what's so great in DB engine, so many better wargames around IMO, sorry.

The most anticipated title in history of Matrix for me was WITP, but now it's out, it can't be on this list, no? [&o]

(Wow, I don't know to write a short post.)

O.

World in Flames (I know, I know. I bought a PC in '98 due to its imminent release [:@])

This is a running joke amongst my friends. Around Christmas '98 I started hassling dudes in software shops to check their lists of upcoming releases.

"Nothing? Are you sure man? It's supposed to be coming out."

We could have fought the actual war in the time it's taken to develop this sucker[:D]. Actually, after a few real-world distractions, cat attacks, vacuuming mishaps and drunken tumbles, playing board WiF could approximate a real-time wargame.

Combat Leader !

Of course. I have now finished all 4 megacampaigns, so it's really time to give birth to that baby....
