These games are 'near-product' in my world.  They do not have to 'work'.  There are no warranties, returns (usually), guarantees, product sustainment (beyond the final patch), etc.

I do not expect the people that buy/use them to do anything but have fun with them.  Its hard to take people seriously about these products.  I never really liked ASL after going to one of the conventions and being exposed to so many wargamers in person.  Let's face it; its an odd lot.  The worst are the ones posing as historians, writers, etc.  They are usually bank clerks, work in malls, whatever.  If it makes anyone feel better, I was being as nice to all the ASL geeks as I could possibly be.  But after that, I knew that computers were the future.

To me its a big joke and if anyone thinks that I take any of this tripe seriously, they are mistaken.  Its just a lifelong fascination that I enjoy at a hobby level.  The fact that it is modeling people getting maimed and killed is not lost on me either.  I like to think that a war against a horrible tyrant justifies it somehow.  But a war against Syrian Lobsters or Iranian Crabmen doesn't tickle my fancy.

Status: offline 		Yeah I'm not too excited about the Syrian Lobsters, I might get into stomping on some Iranians though or Chinese in a hypothetical skirmish. But SYRIA?? that's a walk in the park over in a week type of war really. More of a Policing up action than a war. They have no power to speak of, some bb guns and plastic grenades maybe. haha Of course I will get lamblasted by someone for saying that, but, that's what I think of the Syrian army.

I still say people would have more fun and run up against a much better AI playing GTS's SAN ANDREAS in the military everyone has guns mode. That's a riot ot play.

Korea is a 'virgin' wargame subject.  Maybe offering interesting mix of good weapons/fanatics/terrain/etc.

Status: offline 		I hate to play The Reanimator here, but I wanted to send out an offer to any interested.

I happen to have an extra sealed copy of Combat Mission: Shock Force and I am looking to sell it. Ebay has been up and down for me lately, so I figured I would give you all a shot.

I would part with it for $35 (and that includes shipping) or a reasonable offer. I will ship to Canada, and domestically here in the US. I would love it if someone who wants the game would contact me via email, so that this unused copy can find a home. Otherwise, I may have to turn to the soulless oblivion of Ebay...

Well, Battlefront.com sent me the copy, much later than I ordered it (we had a shipping snafu). I also had a Digital DL copy, so the hardcopy ended up being superfluous.
