Thanks for the info! That looks awesome. I'm a big fan of "control the individual soldier" games. Febuary Release for NA bites

One of the nice things is that people are already working on mods for it - I think one is the Pacific theatre, but the one I wanna get hold of is Twilight:2000. <G> No vehicles will be a bit annoying, but still...

Oh, and there's a 1.1 version of the demo out now; patched to some extent, but I've not found a listing of what changes there are except easier visibility of your "hidden" characters (for you, not [I hope <G>] Enemy). I'm at 17% of 200 meg on DSL now, so I should be checking out the changes before too long.

Silent Storm looks like a worthwhile purchase, but I'm a little disappointed there's apparently no multiplayer at all ? PBEM could have been terrific fun if they'd decided to implement it, and really give the game longevity - especially with the map editor.

From what I've been reading on their forums, there's a hotseat multiplayer mode "hidden" in SS, but onlime MP would be cool. <G>

Civil War by Victory Games. It was an excellent board game, but the implemented the computer version very poorly.
