3R Now has some competition

Hello Gentlemen:

Great job Battlefront game designers. Not only is the game fun, but with this web site I have never seen the users have so much impute into a game. The new campaigns on this site are great fun, and the historic background of the people using this site, intresting!

However...

1) Can air units and ship units completely destroy ground units? No way, infantry must occupy the ground before battlegrounds or forts are taken.

2) Where is the Murmansk convoy route, the USSR may have lost the war without this passage way. Make the allies hurt alittle to supply Russia.

3) I know that maps are hard thing, but have some pride when you design a map. Where is Corsica? that little piece of blue! Where is Iceland? It was a great help to the allies for ASW. The Alps are smaller than the mountains in Turkey. Tripoli was an important seaport for the Axis, that's what made Malta so important. The US and Canada are too close to Europe scale wise. Well, you catch my drift.

4) Everybody has jet, hell even the Italians get them, which war is this?

So I'm a little critical, if I didn't care about this game I wouldn't write this memo. Keep up the good work Strategic Command.

Thanks

SC is an ok game at the beer and pretzels level, I will not go so far as to say A3R has competition yet (but that could change),it definitely gives Axis And Allies a run for it's money though.

Its things like your own comments that bear me out.

Omitting places like Malta,Iceland and Corsica detract from getting on the same level as A3R. I would never be able to exclude those places in A3R.

One point that is worth mention though, SC is one of just many games out there aggressively supported by its fan base.

For examples I offer

And as will be seen if you venture forth, they don't shy away from frank discussion of competing games.

There is no Iceland, but Malta is there and I didn't have the right hex graphics for it, but Corsica is sort of added (admittedly poorly) in with Sardinia just that it's not drawn with the proper isthmus
