My only gripe with the UI is the way text is displayed. I'd love to be able to play this game at my desktop resolution of 2560 x 1600 but there is no way I can read comfortably anything in the UI. Sure I can reduce the resolution to 1920 x 1200 but even though text is then readable it is slightly blurry. Other games do a good job of scaling text with higher resolutions. Wish that could be done here.

Maybe I'm just too damn old, but at this stage of my life I have almost zero interest in the 'human aspect' of war. It seems to be the same in all wars: it was like hell on earth. Am much more interested in what happened and why it happened.

Not surprising given the fact that the author was a comics writer.

Hey, it may be ooooold, but it is still a great game.

CMBB runs fine on my win7 64 system except for fog effects.

+1.......

Jason, thanks for the informative post.

Agree. Am using iPad and it often makes it much easier to view maps and pictures on it than in the paperbook version. That is a neat trick using the Paperwhite for reading and the Fire HD for displaying maps. Hadn't thought of doing that.

Am not sure it should be called a trilogy anymore. Looks like the third part is being printed in two volumes along with a companion book. Approximately 2300 pages for the three books.:eek: I have it pre-ordered through amazon. Looks like it is going to be a busy year for reading. That "Into the Oblivion" does look interesting. Haven't yet read any of Jason Mark's books. Will probably pick it up also.

Thanks for the link. Am very impressed with Glantz's work. Fortunately many of his books are now available in the Kindle format.

I'd say the game is very different from chess. Chess has no randomness built into. Except maybe the random element of one player being better than the other:) Not saying this makes CMBN a bad game. It just is not a game like chess and I think the OP wants a game more like chess.

Thanks. Missed the irony in your first post.

Wasn't the Third Reich racist to its core? :confused: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racial_policy_of_Nazi_Germany

I agree. I couldn't have said it better than he did..

Yes. And I never play online, but I think this is a reasonable request for those that do enjoy the online expereince.
