You cant compare this game to IL2 in any way. IL2 FB is the only game which will not leave my hard drive until Battle of Britian comes out. However this game is different again. I for one will buy this game if it is tactical and atmospheric. You could turn round and say why buy SC2 when you have BF1942? Get the point?

Whats the word on a UK release. I do not want to be waiting for a year before I can get my hands on this game. My xmas will not be the same:(

I agree.

Only the other day I was wishing for a game like this. To my great suprise one is now being developed and Im very,very interested. This will be another future purchase from me, aswell as SC2, Battle of Britian Combat Leader and Guns of August. Thankgod that there is some great new game sin the pipeline as Im getting very fed up with constant FPS and RTS. When wiil a website go live for this product?

To be honest I dont think many people are going to look at this games graphics and think wow look at that I will buy this. The only people who will buy this game are wargamers. The type your talking about are looking at the latest RTS and thinking wow not ISO graphics which are very dated by todays standard. I can see peoples point if it affects gameplay but not just because it doesnt look like a wargame. Also from what I can gather SC wasnt some grognard complicated strategy game. It was easy to get into and was designed at getting people into wargames which cant be a bad thing. And if this game does entice more people into our hobby then it can only be a good thing. The more people to buy the more likely further games will be made.

Were still not talking about some crappy 3d RTS title here. Surely its gameplay that matters. SO with all its improvements in gameplay terms Hubert is on to a winner. Not to buy this game because it has new isometric graphics seems a little odd. Fair enough if the whole system were to change that it became a different kind of beast all together but I dont think it has. Hubert has put a lot of time and effort into what turmed out to be one great wargame. He has then gone on to improve it prob ten fold. I feel a little sorry for him. No ones played this game and when he gets out a little taster posts like this come up. Come on lets give the game a chance. At least lets play a demo before we start to criticise. I like silly little graphics as to me it adds a lot of atmosphere and I hope the sound effects are top notch to. Something most wargames are lacking.
