Even though I may disagree with some of the TOAW/TOAD dudes, when it comes to "TOAW vs HPS" battle we need to forget our differences, and all breathe like one comrades, in defence of our motherland! LOL [:D] Is HPS Nazi or what?[:D] And what does that make of TOAW/TOAD dudes,Stalin and the Commies?[:'(] quote:
No kidding, TOAW IMO wins hands down, but I am definitely very biased here (and do no even try to appear objective and unbiased). TOAW: - flexible - expandable - almost unlimited replayability - quality of the experience varies greatly, and depends on quality of the scenario being played - lots of scenarios but also player needs to weed out the bad ones - best scenarios (and there are at least 20-30 top quality ones) are as good and as worthy as separate full price wargames HPS PzC: - boring - boring - not fun - too micro-manage-y - ugly - boring - boring - [>:] Where HPS products are concerned I own both Decisive Battle and The First Blitzkrieg,while Point of Attack 2 is on its way.I like Decisive Battle(though its lack of naval forces,UI,weird scenario backgrounds and dearth of it and the weapon datebase puts me off) but less could be said for the latter due to its rather simplified combat system. While i dont own any of the Panzer Campaign series,i do download their manual for reference and read extensively the comments and comparison of the series. Panzer Campaign series may bear more complexity than The First Blitzkrieg by its much more intricated rules and system together with its grand-tactical approach,it stills feels a bit simplified as compared to TOAW3. However many ascepts in TOAW3 which are adstracted are represented in a more tangible manners in Panzer Campaign, partly due to the fact that TOAW3's focus is higher up in the command echelon(as in operational) than Panzer Campaign series(grand-tactical). Hence,i explains why one needs to micro-manage some many units in Panzer Campaign,considering that the organization is broken into smaller units with those with same composition grouped together. I thought HPS system is more suitable for 19th century warfare and those prior to that era due to less complexity in the military system during that time.
