- Very True. I think it is going to hard to adapt to non talkies after
- this game.

- Is it just me, or is this game REALLY tough? I'm only on the fifth
- mission and I'm already getting slaughtered. I'm normally pretty good
- at these sorts of games. Then again, maybe I just haven't figured out
- a strategy yet. Either that, or I need to keep better track of my units.
- I don't know how many times I've left an important piece in the middle
- of the desert as (accidental) worm bait.
-
- Actually, there is one thing I don't like about this game. I really
- am not a big fan of "real-time" games with lots of pieces to move around.
- I almost always forget one or just can't quite keep up. Of course, a lot
- of people really like that and this game certainly wouldn't be the
- same without it. At any rate, everything else is so good about
- the game, it is still a great game.
-
- Anyone else find it difficult or is it just me?
