Nope it is worse because we know Risk is lame.

I think this sums up all our frustrations... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcW3hbnR2EI

In my Mod...Braak Braak no need to go on

Very well said

He's not made one good comment about the game, I think his point is quite clear, he does not like it. Try my mod, you'll be surprised at how it is possible to increase this games historical accuracy quite significantly. </font>

Agreed, but I don't see why people are so closed minded they won't even think of trying some improved campaigns or like Dice they think it is impossible for the game to be improved via this way. Then again Dice likes nothing about the game so I have no clue what he is still doing here. I look forward to futur patches but since I have some tools at my disposal to actually improve gameplay SIGNIFICANTLY and feels more historical (and have the time) I went ahead and did it, has anyone here complaining tried it? I doubt it considering it has less than 30 downloads which is probably 10-12 actual players. </font>

Umm, is the same fellow who has been whining the US gets no respect? Not enough troops? Glad you are not the skirt in charge of the USA.

To quote your favorite US general "Rambutt". "Spank me" or I think that was what he said as his batman took the riding crop to him. [ July 09, 2006, 09:19 PM: Message edited by: Yohan ]

I must admit I am quite disappointed to say this but I am done with SC2 even faster than I was done with SC1. Issues: 1) Need too many house rules to make it playable 2) Luck of the draw on tech still too deciding a factor (yes, not as big an issue with Level 5 Fighters but still way too big an issue) 3) I thought Diplomacy was going to be an interesting enhancement but is really just a waste of MPPs. 4) I played SC1 mainly against 2 friends. Irish Guards played the SC2 demo and then told me not to buy the game, should have listened. My other buddy quit after 3 weeks. 5) Still got my entertainment dollar out of it but disappointed it did not even get me through the summer. Yohan - signing off

The Bomber does not show up for many turns after Denmark surrenders.

OK, on patch 1.02 Spain is at Axis 78%, maxed on chits but figure the Allies have as well. Is there any attacks on minors etc. that will push Spain over the top?

Also, you were playing the computer. Does not count.

I found some free time this afternoon if anyone wants to start a TCP/IP game (Ladder game prefered). email me at rob (dot) anderson (at) rogers.com

Just joined the ladder and looking for a game. email me @ robdotandersonat rogersdotcom

The ability of subs to take down capital ships in port has got to be pulled. It just could not be done. Their were occassional small successes but not what is being allowed in SC2. Also, I think there has to be a strong US trigger if the Axis navies approach the US shore as it would violate the Monroe Doctrine and would have given Roosevelt the excuse he was looking for.

I think Frank Hunter will be doing another ACW strategy game over at Matrix if he ever finishes the Napoleonic and WWI games he is developing now...

Umm, Rambot, any replys Mr. Legend...

The point is really "who cares" and I mean that from a military point of view not as a shot. Take the best Carrier for its time period during WWII and put it up against a land based air fleet (much larger number of planes) and it is toast.

Guys, CVs were used in the Western theatre very sparingly. They had almost no punch versus land units and the main action they were involved in was the Med and not even that a ton as the British High Command did not want to risk them. Why make them stronger than they really were?

CVs sans their planes are toast if caught, perhaps a review of Midway would be in order. They need to be very well protected and I think the current rules are good.

Really Blashy, give it a rest. Your strident support is actually hurting your credibility and more importantly that of the game. I sure hope you were open to more thoughts and ideas when you were playtesting. If everyone checks every turn you have just slowed the game down for no purpose. It is a complete waste. And counting on others to forget is a pretty iffy strategy and if you need it to win you will not be too successful.

LOL

Having to look each turn is a complete waste of the computer as a resource. Perhaps you should have to calculate the attack odds yourself and input them? I look at the popup as a report from your spy master keeping you updated with pertinent information, not mind numbing review of a screen turn after turn.
