And no way those are uhu's. That's just ordinary headlights. Makes it a lot easier to drive at night, you know. :D

I am still likely more interested in my slow motion looking, and I sure hope Combat Leader shows up soon.

Status: offline 		Now that screen shot was impressive. And no one can deny that I suppose.

I think that image is the best thing I have seen in this scale before.

I am still dubious if there would be a point though. It all comes down to how intelligent is the game play.

And I can't say I am able to at this point in time rely on internet play against people.

The AI could be all that matters to me at this moment. The rest sure looks incredible though eh.

Status: offline 		And I will bet you that none of the map is user defined. They are most likely paintings. Very impressive. The scaling is the best I have seen. Now if maps could be made for this game I would be very imnterested. Otherwise, CL remains the best chance of a tactical game that is the most versatile. Les, you better save your shekels, I am getting a 128MB video card to run CL

Come on Matrix I want my Combat Leader man hehe:)

Now, Combat Leader... :p

Status: offline 		I've played the demo and it was fairly interesting, but only fairly. The crosses on the GE vehicles are far too large though hard to tell at a distance as those shots are. I suppose if I bought it I'd have wringed out more of the details and hence had some more fun with it, but the action in the demo was scripted, which can be good and bad, and the units, had, ahem, lifebars. I estimate that it's better than the SS series but how much remains to be seen.

In a wargame, its either destroyed or not.

Accumulated damage is the computers business, I am not i nterested in seeing "lifebars" in a wargame.

I hate tehm also, especially when you get some GI joe with a machine gun taking out a tank. Tanks etc should only accumulate damage from things able to prenetrate their hull (or at least by hitting them in a vital location). Thats what turned me off sudden Strike

Oh well.

Status: offline 		I only got one thing from this review, don't ask non wargamers to review wargames, and don't of course expect wargamers to return the favour and review non wargames necessarily.

The reviewer played the game, but doesn't appear to like wargames.
