  1. Finally got enough time to really play this game since I bought it at release. Have played other games since 2009, but am not jaded with this one. So much you can do with the rules editor to keep things interesting.

    Anyway, with so much disappointing stuff on Steam, I can't imagine this one not selling for $9.99 worst-case. But I'm sure you've been down that road years ago. Just a shame to see it linger here. Lots of neat touches, and I've not even played MP yet.

  2. First, thanks to the scenario creators. I've downloaded nearly every one.

    I think MikeyD has a point on increased use of QB's. I have fallen into that trap due to time constraints.

    What really amazes me is the gentleman who said five of his six friends would not move up from CMx1 to CMx2. That would be an interesting question to post on one of the other active CMx1 forums.

    Bottom line is nothing compares to CMx2 on the market. Recruiting new blood is an issue though. I just got recruited for World in Flames, but not sure if that counts as I'm already a wargamer.

  3. Another publisher recently released a couple of hard core wargames with UI's much less intuitive than CMx2's. Despite this, they are solid hits in their core market. Surprise, surprise. And they don't compete with CMx2 directly, so for us, variety is the spice of life.

    The publisher also released a couple of more mass market games. Sales of these games have got to be frightening, and they seemed obvious failures before they even released. So yes, it can be dangerous to stray from your core market. I do not know the publisher's strategy in releasing them.

  4. I really should think before I post. I was quibbling about new units, but now I get it. What was 13 hexes between Leningrad and Rostov in Gold, is now so much more in AoC. It makes for a totally different experience and well worth the money. Sorry I "shot from the hip" here. On less friendly forums, I would have been deservedly beaten up :)
