Ahh, sorry Michael, yes I missed your post and I bow to your rightful elderliness (not sure if thats a word)! My 1st game was M1 Tank Platoon (Microsoft) but eventualy I worked my way through all the CM classics (BO, BB & AK). Then, Theatre of war which to me never lived up to the standards I came to expect and actualy eventualy took for granted from CM. I have high hopes for the 02 series to pick up the torch and carry us forward into the past.
