Baron von Beergut Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I liked Big Dog's comment on how you can finish SC2 in this lifetime. LoL! I liked HOI's detail but it got to the point where you almost had to micromanage. The other downside was that it was realtime, which eliminated any chance of doing pbem. With limited spare time that meant it was only good for me against the AI. So, I will definitely get the bundle once it is out... BvB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Baron Von Beergut, Bird here from the Bltiz and ACWGC. You will love this game! Since I've started playing it I've dropped to 1 or 2 CW games at a time. Easy to learn very hard to master! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanzerMike Posted October 18, 2007 Author Share Posted October 18, 2007 Originally posted by asgard: 2) You can't stack, but if you place your extra naval units adjacent to the port, they would still be suplied(level 9). So having naval battles near your ports= advantage because your units would be better supplied than the enemy. the only limit of ports is that you can repair or upgrade one naval unit per port per turn. Wow, this is kind a weird. I bring the Scharnhorst to port and the Gneisenau has to stay at sea? I understand many things are abstracted, but this is just plain weird to me. I can see that given the scale of the game, stacking of land units is out. But ships? Is the Scharnhorst an abstraction of a flottila (a number of ships)? Germany had more ships than these two cruisers in 1940. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaMonkey Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Exactly PM, naval units represent a task force. Think of them as a multi-vessel organization around the primary unit from which it gets its designation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blashy Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 And HQs are not just the leader, they represent the whole logistics behind a military force. Another abstract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Dave Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 You do not pile second upon second, Minute atop minute, The diurnal hours - STACKED Like clock-work bricks In some - steeply-stepped stairway to Heaven, Do you? No stacking! Who on this here fast-waning Planet would want? Such a clumsy cluttered, wrought Up wrangled tangle and bogged Clogged kind of congestion - as that? :confused: Click & click, Click and click and click and - click! Seeking for what? One tiny? Secretly hidden game piece? Through endless, interminable, Stacks & stacks Of minutes or pixels Or stick-figure depictions? It's ALL... only... abstraction. WW2 is... done been fought, The blood and viscera spilled forth Soaking the ground sullied insensate, 60 years done and gone and now, just Settled dust, In that bottomless bin of History. Therefore, No matter HOW you play it, or Sing it or song it or bring it Or essay it, With dice, With arcanely ordered, tandems of random Ones & zeroes, zeroes And ones, Whether it be about Hannibal riding along side-saddle Up on a lumbering, lop-ear elephant, Or, In this particular instance, The - usually - guten burgher Deutsche Volk Convinced by - a hectoring Idiot Inartistically screaching - hey you! Most superior Dudes... yes you! Can indeed be! Foolish Stiff-limb, dumb-strutting animals! Or any another young, someone-loving Soldier For that matter, Just surviving it out, In a desert or a jungle or amid Green-folded fields of furrow & flowers, Ah, yea, it goes. On and on, Second by second, Minute by minute, Hour by hour, It's all of an all, Which War and why and when. Nary a moment's Peace in between The next night fraught With daemon-begot dreams... now AND - then... the merest of... abstraction. Well how do ya do - lucky for us! Hubert himself is not enny - ab-straction. He's the real thing alright, And has created THE best WW2 Grand Strategy, Turn-based and Euro-earth based, Intro-spective, intra-ultra, multi-contestable And vast and long-lasting SRO, stomp! the boards, Super-califragilistic Spec-tacular! :cool: Well, you'll get to play for yerself - soon. Play and play and play and play, Minute by minute, hour After hour, day - ah - s'gotten late? Driving the lady the mistress The latest mate anyway - antic & crazy! Weeks and weeks even! and you'll - maybe - never! See the sun or some other sorta fun, nor, Nay, for better or for worse, Our (... currently) un-crowded moon.
