well, i'm firmly part of the club. i come from the old days of boardgames.
i had a ww2 pacific game, midway?, from back on the atari 800 that i spent way, way too many hours on for a 14 year old.
a game like this still blows me away. i want to like it, and i want to enjoy it. it's a little beyond the scope of anything i've played before though. i mean, one campaign could easily take a year to complete. what kind of game has that kind of legs nowadays?

Forgive me a sec for giveing a BZ to the women who have loved us while we were away! Especially MY wife of 22 years.
It takes a special Lady to deal with the seperations. Glad you have one!

One of your first actions as the Allies should be to create a large supply convoy at the West Coast and send it towards Australia

Russ, where can I meet your fanclub? Who do they treat better, the guys who your forces stomp into gibbering nutcases, or those superior powers of trickery manage to pull the rug out from under you? This is important information for all your opponenets...

This game has the scope and the legs to keep it going for quite some time...much longer than most games.
Feinder (my brother) and I have been playing this since release. We have a TEAM game going with Kbullard and Parker that has been going on almost that long. That was almost 2 years ago and we are still going strong.
Don't worry about it getting old...once you tire of the AI and switch to PBEM, it only gets better! [:D]

Hi, I have never stomped anyone. I have a lot of tread marks on my head however.
