Most of the presents were to our little boy, and watching your son being excited by getting what he "has always wanted and need sooo badly" is the best present - a father can get.

I am at the stage in the life when the best part about christmas is watching my daughter opening her presents and go bananas of joy. Wonderful!

Can't figure out how to attack with more then one unit. It is not explained in the manual, the Computer can do it so I should too. Posted in the appropriate forum but that looks dead for months.

It was a rather poor Christmas (meaning hardly any of us had any money), but I don't like getting gifts. I am always glad to see others get gifts, though. Sounds like it was a good Christmas for everyone.

Why do you think the computer can do it Twotribes? You can only attack with one unit at a time - same as the AI.

Status: offline 		Commander The Great War is a good WW1 game, however "out of the box" it has some ommissions and limitations as far as historical accuracy is concerned. There are a couple of mods out there (see Commander The Great War) in the forums that make this game even more historical and fun.

He got tons of presents and I was allowed to build his "Bobby Car". was one of the best christmas's. Doing something for your child while watching him enjoy his first christmas.

Big plans that probably won't pan out. My son wanted nothing to do with my wargames.

Carmageddon 2 is a very good game. Great idea and execution.

Yes Big plans. I got my son in May. And due to the various tasks that come along with the little chap, I find that I have very little time to play.
Daytime chores put a stop to my weekend gaming. And evening times is a little better, mum goes to bed while I look after the baby phone, I manage to get
An hour or two on the PC.

But seeing him smile, is worth every minute spent with him.
