The game looks interesting enough to give it a try. Calling it deep may be a gross understatement - it looks to me that as you control more provinces, a single turn could eventually take a long, long time. My first experience with the demo was hardly reassuring. I conquered the first province easily enough, but on the next turn my commander was killed and my garrison was routed by some kind of magical vine men. Cool, but still a big "GRRRRRRRR!!" at the same time. Still, I think it's worth a try. I guess I'll order it - it sure looks great on my new monitor!

_Axe_ Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 My apologies for not holding up my end of PBEMs for the last few days maggots. Work and this !#@$%^&@ problem with my ATI card are driving my batty. I sent ATI a detailed list of all the things I have done to try to fix the problem. What does ATI send me? A form e-mail telling me to do all the things I just told them I did. I would blow something up but I'm too damn tired. And the mailboxes are still in front of my house even though Canada Post was supposed to move them six months ago. And, to top it all off, Rodney died today. "The last time I saw a mouth like that it had a hook in it." At least the Sox clobbered the Angels. =/ Turns tomorrow. Good night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallybob Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Damn. Sorry to hear about Rodney. I hope he finally does get some respect. He deserves it. I'll have to watch Caddyshack again. And again.

Dave H Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Three more BDLRM-revenge PBEM games are now history. I managed only a draw with the estimable and suave Teddy Windsor. This although I eliminated his German armor and I still had six Shermans left, which were quickly mopping up his remaining infantry. Too many Allied vehicles were lost, I guess. Of course, the scenario started with my armored cars arrayed as targets for his tanks. Gamey!! :mad: :mad: I managed only a minor victory against Snarker in the rune masterpiece. My Brits stormed his airfield and took all but one VL. While sustaining heavy losses, we took the battle to his defending Germans. We managed to take 40 or 50 German prisoners, and we even rescued the one man who had been captured by the Germans. Bloody, but a success. :cool: :cool: Finally, I took a major victory against Boo Radley, proving once again that in a battle of wits, Waffles will always prevail over <font size=1>penguins</font>. In this case my attacking Americans rolled over his German defenders, destroying all of his armor and his AT guns for the loss of a single Sherman. His Germans finally threw in the towel. Boo created the scenario himself, and the map is like a maze. Everyone has to be very careful when moving. He'd probably be willing to take on anyone else who wants to give it a try.

Dave H Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Another BDLRM-revenge match ends in a draw. Mike took the entire Afrika Korps, put them in trenches criss-crossing the sides of a mountain, and allowed me to attack him. My infantry couldn't even approach the mountain without getting hit with a hail of HMG and mortar fire from above. The tanks did what they could, but his dug-in AT guns and his minefields finally stopped them, too. I couldn't get at him on the summit, so we finally pulled back a bit. That's when he went crazy and began chasing my tanks with his AT guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Axe_ Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 Well, here's the latest on Wartime Command: eah guys, I really do have to apologise for not being around the WC boards for so long....it's been months I know Busy few months for me with 3 game releases taking priority and me doing all the online stuff. As you can see there has been little to report on the development of the game. I know that there has been problems with the development of the game engine which has caused problems, and alot of work has gone into this. Until these problems are sorted there's little else I can report. I know I'm not supposed to be saying anything about this but I felt a right to tell you all of this and explain the pushing back of the date. If I hear any definitive news then I will announce it here. __________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
