Even if you could defend the egypt, you can do it with reasonable units. Is it WORTH it. I mean you get 15 mmp each turn, those unit you loose could be used elsewhere, ie keep brest after fall of france. If the axis goes quickly after the minors you might have it for a year if you a lucky and those the loss of egypt is equal. Then we have of course egypt as a block for iraq. But that is not the issue in my question. What i say is it worth it to fight for egypt if axis want to take it regarding the mmp of egypt.

Where is my damn credit card........, what only 7 bucks for shipping. Jippi. But how long time is it for the shipping for 7 USD to western europe ? ? ? (i hope i wont have to pay any custom into EU)

The american reaction to the DoW of Denmark and Schweiz is a big yawn.

Meanwhile Axis attacks Denmark and Schweiz

5 turns has gone from the fall of france. Nothing happens. What is the Axis up too ? ? Meanwhile a british corp travels to Dunquirk to see how the coast looks like. The RAF was unable to spot anything.

In this game it all went messy. I attack LC on round 2. But the unit did not take it as easy as it should. forcing me to leave maginot unguarded in order to take Brussels. Also what made it hard was the sinking of the corp in the chanell (good move of the KM) I am also suprised how fast he could crack my defense. ..... that corp...........

Das Boot or STALINGRAD, check them out.

The best films i have seen is the ones about the Finnish war. "the winter war" and "unknow soldier" Private Ryan. 3parts. first third of the movie. OUTSTANDING !! One of the best i ever seen. The middle average. The last part, defending the Bridge. Oboy what it sucks. Back to the old hollywood movies. A platoon keeping a whole battalion, supported by tanks, and elit troops as well, at bay. For god sake give me a brake. We actually watch the longest day on the Military academy when we trained for beach defens. (Rommels doctrine still valid...) John Wayne.... Even Steven Segal is a better actor....... BoB very good. I wont say its the best but its very good.

Sitting and looking closer to the screenshots. After a while a can stand the look, still dont like it, but only IF that d-n round plate under the unit could be removed it would be much better. Hope someone who can, will edit it in the future. [ April 15, 2004, 02:34 AM: Message edited by: kossuth ]

A) 1 10 c) 7 d) 2 (scoring system 10)

Thats very high, anything above 200 is good (human opponent). The game factors a quick conquest, ie you win the game before -45. It counts resources/cities, time for conquest and killed off units. As i know it does not matter if you take russia (or any other) in 43 or 45 unless usa and uk are taken as well.

what in the earth is the man talking about, no beer or virgins included.

everything above 200 is good. 100-150 is a fair victory. Less is a small victory. Remeber, killed units counts for the VP. But this is my thoughts only.

HALLELULJA

i could easy pay 50 bucks, but as sombra says. With shipping it will probably be too much. So i will wait till its in store paying the 50 bucks there. I think SC costed 40 bucks here in sweden in the store.

and they should be better in attacking fortresses as well. Stosstruppen here they come.....

Perfect. then a port can be added to Ireland. I really hate ending up with an army in ireland after taking it and unable to do anything with it other than disbanding it.

and a port to ireland

Whats the point cheating ?

What the heck does the "bump" mean

I am in too. But is it ever real grognards that playtest games??? I have the feeling that it is not, but maybe i am very wrong here......................

I agree with CraigRS. I do not like the layout either. I WOULD prefer an option for 1D, but of course that will maybe too much programming. Reading furhter in the forum that will not happen. So far Craig and i are in miniority. The layout worked for PG2, but will it do for SC2 that will have a lot more depth to it ? I will buy the game without hesitation, but i think i really will have to work with my resistance and CIV/PG feeling. I would like to have the "NATO"-symbols as a flagg/counter, not as Cubes. But i think i am too boardgame conservative here. [ April 14, 2004, 02:19 AM: Message edited by: kossuth ]

Release scheduled to Q4. Games are often delayed. How was it when SC was ready. Was it in time or not ?

The game really look good with all the new features. BUT i really hope the will have an option that gives you the oportunity to play it in Top-1D It really look like civ 2, and i totally loose the feeling of a wargame in this mode. I dont like it. I would very much like to old wargames counter mode (but i might get used to it) Beside of this it look very good. The other option with i cube is even worse. (but it gives a feeling from battle of britain though...) [ April 14, 2004, 02:29 AM: Message edited by: kossuth ]
