Sarge, I have now asked you two simple and direct questions, neither of which you chose to answer.
First I asked whether you were previously aware of the Wargamer article. You responded thusly, "I don't see all of the articles Strategycat hehe." Although I can't be sure, this sounds like you were not previously aware of the article.
I then asked you, even more specifically, whether you had been aware of the issues raised in the Wargamer article. Again you sidestepped the question by answering, "The article was fairly exhaustive I will agree"...yada, yada, yada.
Both of your evasive responses lead to the obvious conclusion that you in fact were not aware of this article prior to this discussion.
This is amazing, for someone who professes to know enough to give advice to other people in regard to buying this game. The Wargamer article is nothing short of the biggest indictment of any computer wargame to date, and again, that is not an exaggeration, imo. Anyone who claims to know anything about TOAW knows about this article and, more specifically, the many faults in the game it correctly points out.
Consequently, anyone who doesn't know about this article can reasonably be considered to know little about the game, or at least not enough to advise other people on their buying decisions.
All of that having been said, where do you get the temerity to question my knowledge of the game by asking me to point out what part of it is broken?
For starters, if patch 1.06 does not in fact break the game, then why are people going back to 1.04?
Beyond that, people can read the history of this game and make up their own mind. For me, there are 101 little things wrong with this game, as well as perhaps a half-dozen major issues, all of which add up to nothing more than a steaming pile (a broken steaming pile, if you will).
It would just be nice if certain people wouldn't try to legitimize their ill-informed visions of grandeur, just because they've established a seemingly 24-hour omnipresence in a forum.
But to each his own, I realize. In regard to TOAW, some folks will just keep on playing in that sandbox, no matter how many times the dog pee'd in it - kids can be like that.
