Great Game!!

As an old wargamer (I was 14 when the "real" Colts won their first Championship), let me say this is one of the most enjoyable wargames I have ever played. My only complaint is the game compels you to play "just one more turn", which can lead to a serious lack of shut-eye (2am last night, 3am the night before). This is not good for a person of my age.

IMO it is an excellent alternative to those games with much steeper learning curves, such as Combat Mission, HPS games, etc. This game is just plain fun to play. I really like the intuitive control scheem and the modeling of combined arms (tanks cannot win alone!). You won't have to read a hundred page manual before you can play, yet the game is not shallow or simplistic. You have to use your assets wisely to win.

Buy the game, you won't be disappointed.

Glad you finally got the game and are having fun with it. The farther along you go the tougher it gets.

The Johnny Unitas Colts?

Correct!

Unitas to Berry!

I think the game has a lot more depth than people realize. You guys have done a really great job of creating an easily playable, enjoyable wargame, that's just fun to play.

Glad that you are enjoying the game! [:)] Our goal was to have a compelling and realistic model, but with a user experience where you learned tactical lessons, not pages of UI keys.

Please let us know if you come across anything you think we could improve - and hope to see you online once you have conquered the Bulge missions!

Cheers

Pip
