Turns are roughly 2-4 minutes.

As far as waiting for the AI to move, the time is negligible, a matter of seconds.

I told you this before. This is a great game. Beats CoH hands down and I like CoH. It's a great conversion of a great board game series

Well, if you ever played the old Pride of Nations you'd know why I asked.

Hi Ed,

I am leaning towards buying it. My hesitation has to do with time. Between Combat Mission, Flashpoint Campaigns, Squad Battles, JohnTillers Campaign Series, and Steel Beasts, where will I find the time for another game. I should think I would need 3 lifetimes to play through all the scenarios I have not yet tried.

Mind you I have always managed to overcome this hesitation in the past.

John

You think YOU have worries about too many games to play? I have 100's. Upwards of more than I care to count. I have so many I stopped counting and proably need to catalog them again. How I miss the days when I had a few games like you do. Do you know what kind of strain that is deciding on what game I should play each day when I have so many crying out my name? Well, perhaps you do if you don't have as much time on your hands as I do right now. Unemployment gives you a lot of playtime and worry time for sure. I blame it all on Steam and Gamersgate and Gog for having all those $5 games for sale. I forget the last time I bought a retail game. Well, no I didn't I bought Diablo III out of the chute last year and it was a $60 pos. Live and learn I always say live and learn. I could have bought 12 poc games for $5 for that $60 I wasted.

John,

This game will hook you quick. When I was beta testing I would fire it up to test for an hour and 3 hours later
I was still testing

It's a true to the bone board game of squad combat

The Flashpoint patch is delayed and so is the new JTCS.

I think we are in the same time zone too
