I just want to say that I just recently, (few months ago), discovered the SC series. Where have I been?
I have purchased Pacific Theater, Global, and now the new Europe SC. I love these games. I have read every forum
for each of these games, trying to learn things I did not know. I am hooked, and am anxiously awaiting the next
release. I am hoping for a Pacific or Global redo with the new engine. Kudos to Hubert and Bill. I was very
surprised when reading through the forums, that Hubert and Bill were very active in replying to certain threads.
To me, that is awesome. They really care, and want to put out a great product. I just want to say to Hubert and bill
you have put out excellent products, (the ones that I have bought). I am an SC faithful.
Thank You for you for developing such an awesome series.

Hail to that

How about we use this thread to give B&H a break from all the hard thinking, and comment on the good stuff. There are plenty of other threads picking at what we don't like. Posters here can throw in a comment about something impressive, for example:
I really like being able to easily rename units.

I own every SC version and SC3 is a further development in the right direction. Good mechanics (that can be finetuned with our help) and a very good immersion. It was a pleasure for me to play this after the HoI4 disaster..

I stumbled on SC only a few years ago and I am VERY glad I did. Fast, but intricate and engaging. The AI could be smarter, but playing against a human is lots of fun.

More good stuff - No Stacking ! Initially there were some cries about this, but after a little game time those disappeared as it was realized that stacking is not necessary. [No need for anyone to jump in here with a paragraph about not being able to stack an air unit at Malta, its not necessary].

No Stacking

What I like is the way the rules about Supply, Resources, Terrain, and Movement function so smoothly together to create an inherent logic to your tactical and strategic decisions.

Very little seems arbitrary, and that's great.

Diplomacy - seems to work very well. It must have been a real Rubik's Cube for B&H to solve. But in practice we don't have to give it much thought, other than overall strategic goals, which is how it should be.
