I have read all of the Toth forum posts. My opinion is that people are going to complain to just complain. I have been playing games for 35+ years, yes I had the first Squad Leader and the first ASL, well heck, I owned and operated a gaming store just because of the love. In 35 years I have yearned to play Squad Leader/ASL as much as I wanted, and finding opponents has largely been a hassle especially in the last 20+ years, even with a game store finding opponents who would like to learn the rules and play regularly was challenging. I now have Toth, with the ASL mod it is almost exactly what I wanted and thought of. I will use Idjester's idea of Teamviewer to play multiplayer when players want to and be happy playing the AI, with classic scenarios, user created scenarios, or just enjoying making and playing my own. I am positive improvements will be made and additions added. This is classic wargaming, no intense graphics, no rush to do something, just plain good times. I am positive the older gamer Grognards like me know of what I speak. I played SPWAW because there was'nt a computer ASL, a good game by the way. Having written games myself, I can see how much you care for your creation and are trying to answer all questions and concerns people have. Who here can remember spending 8 hours setting up a game of NATO, or Napoleans Battles just to have the cat knock everything down, or spend all summer painting miniatures for a game you cannot find someone to play with, heck just reading the ASL rules constantly hoping to find another who wants to play as much as you do. Thank you for your hard work and for the playtesters who got the opportunity to help you with this game. Keep up the Good Work. It is appreciated.

Most of the post is very good. Except for the people complaining just to complain. I bet most on here have full-time jobs so don't have time for that kind of behavior. What people are looking for is improvements. You see that on all gaming forums. And usually it leads to a better game down the road.
