Thanks, Madmatt! Really looking forward to this game. I like how there will be a command structure with HQs and different leaders.

Just wanted to add my apologies if I haven't been able to get to everyone's questions out there but I hope this FAQ will help, and it should at least give you a better idea of some of the game play/mechanics.

Wait a cotton-pickin' minute here -- Zhukov rated as high as Rommel?!?! That's a bald-faced lie! Or in Madmatt's case, a bald-headed one.

Man, seriously though, I can absolutely NOT WAIT for this game to come out. AWESOME!!!

Yes i like what i see,after reading it one cannot help gettting the feeling there is a axis and allies and COS flavour mixed in the pot with a few new good ideas.I think this is a good thing and should produce the right ingrediants for a great game.And i dont get the feeling id be over encumbent in to much detail,more that i can sit back and have an easy to use and play game.

The fact that the Rhine does not extend fully sth is abit of a bugger and dissapointent.But we wont let that ruin all the good other stuff.

I do like the Icons despite an earlier comment about being chessy,i think they are fresh and easy on the eye.And will appeal to the non gronards

I personally am getting sick of nato symbls so it refreshing

It's a good FAQ, but it doesn't say how units get restored to full strength if damaged. Do you manually have to order replacements (like in Panzer General) or do units get restored automatically at the end of each turn if in supply(like in Clash of Steel)?

[von Murrin]

Hmmm, so it's gonna be like a condensed version of A3R and WiF. Cool. Thanks to Matt and Hubert for answering my questions. Looking better all the time (I do mean the game here ).

[Hubert Cater]

Reinforcement of units is through manual replacements with full control over how many replacements you want to put to each unit (i.e. +1, +2... to the max) with visual feedback on how this will effect experience per number of replacements and overall cost prior to finalization.

Edit: The maximum reinforcement value will be dependant on supply though, so if in good supply your situation is good in terms of getting full replacements, but in bad supply and you might be in trouble

I'd also like to know the impact of subs on enemy MPP income, and the importance of the Suez Canal.

Hmm...I smell the potential for a lot of micromanagement here. Will there be options for automatic reinforcements (e.g. TOAW)?

[GWDWD]

Yeah yeah yeah, FAQ, great. WHERE'S THE FREAKING DEMO???

(Breathe. Breathe.) OK, sorry, got a little carried away. I want to play this game.

Actually, someone from battlefront.com please contact me. With all these great games coming out, I need to see about just getting part of my paycheck automatically put into your bank account every two weeks. (Cuts out the middleman, you know.)

Errrr, wait. On second thought, who has time for a job?
