- As with other strategic gamers, I have been dying at get hold of this
- game. But after reading all the drive-by criticisms at Patriot, I am a
- bit skeptical.
-
- Is the game indeed realtime (as far as the human is concerned) in the
- spirit of Command HQ and Harpoon?
- They did say it is SVGA, which resolution/card is supported?
- Is the manual that bad? Or just that the game is complicated?
-
- At least one of the drive-by shooting.. uuhmm, criticism, was from a
- V4Victory fan, since I am against hex-squares and turn-by-turn, do
- you think I might see it differently?
-
- Thanks.
