"The game was sponsored by the Hungarian Ministry of Education and the hungarian version was released for the anniversary of 1848 in March 2005. We are releasing then english version for free to promote our next game, For Liberty!" This was in the FAQ's of the game. Nothing is ever really for "free" -there is always a monentary gain some where.This was just a "demo" to get us to buy their ACW game. So wouldn't hold my breath for our government to release a ACW any time soon.

Thanks a lot Blashy--- I didn't really want to ask on forum cause I didn't want to get blasted by everyone,lol. I kept thinking it was under the options and I was just missing it. Again thanks!

How do you get it so the research chits aren't expended when you get a break thru. I thought I read a while ago that you could set something so it either spent the chit or didn't. If I am mistaken sorry for the waste of a post.

Just got my downloaded-- thanks Moon and MadMatt.Now let me have some fun!

Just back away from from the PC GENMARKY!!! Help is on the way. SC3 is coming out in a few short decades. So dont loss hope yet! lol

I think its just cause you are going crazy and need men with white jackets to come get you. These timeouts are driving you crazy,lol.

Thanks guys for looking into. Has anyone really downloaded yet/ I was so close.lol Oh well waited this long can wait some more.

Sorry guys spoke too soon!!! My timed out 50% thur!!! UGHHHH Damn Santa brought me coal in my stockings again!!! lol How can it time out 50% done.I thought no problem it will be done soon. It was done alright. Now I can't get it to not time less than 1% done. UGHH hexed myself for being so happy!

hehehe just downloaded my game!!!! Just like christmas!!!!!

No you can't play it at work!!!

I have $50 on February 29. So don't no one even think of taking that spot!!! :mad:

Isn't it kinda hard to play PBEM by yourself?Seems like a lot of hassle just to get one last game of SC1 in before SC2 comes out.

Great link to see carriers built during WW2

Like at work perhaps!???

Hey Desert Dave, Just found this screenshot- it has artillery in it. Did they take them out for final game? artillery

guinty1 , I agree. See thats why I thought that there should be an artillery unit since in WW2 it was used so much. But I really would just like the game no matter what units it has in it.lol Oh please just give it to me!!!! Please!!!!!!

Thanks Desert Dave, I didnt know there was a separate tech called I/W. I can live with that being the way artillary is "explained". BTW sorry DOZER you kinda lost me in your post there,. I spell bad but Had no idea what you were trying to say there.

God that game ,People Tactics is terrible!!!! Jsut cause someone places something on the internet doesnt make it good. I don't care how hard they worked on it.I 'm sorry but look around the web,lots of people put things there that really suck. Dozer, wasn't lieing when he said it sucked!!!!

JJ , this is for you,lol. Raining on Dozer and my parade

DOZER ,See NOW we are talking! Thats want I had in mind.Maybe not THAT big but atleast some to soften up his unit BEFORE I attacked with my inf.

Ok,Ok you both make good points. But don't you feel that having a artillery attack to soften up an entrenched unit would be what happened in reality. I just don't think that that part of WW2 is represented quite right.It must be just me.

I was wondering why artillery isn't really represented in either SC1 or SC2. I know we have rockets but those aren't really used like artillery(ie to expensive/not enough punch). Every battle during the war had artillery on one side or the other.It was used by many generals as a way to soften up the positions as everyone here knows. So why in two verisions of a WW2 strategy games not even a token unit to represent true artillery is used.Maybe I missed the post that stated the SC2 had artillery units so if someone know something please post.

Damn AGENT SMITH , I thought that was the problem but I was trying to bluff him so he thought I had put all my research into INTEL vice the JET PLANES tech I really researched!! :cool: [ January 21, 2006, 04:31 PM: Message edited by: beginner's luck ]
