Never have I ever played a game that has me yelling at the screen as I watch my forces not do what I think they should be doing to the enemy. You know your loud when the pets leave the room, thinking they did something wrong.

Sad thing is I am only on the tutorial right now. Which brings me to another question, has anyone beat it playing as the Warsaw Pact side? Best I could do was a draw. I know it favors the other side, but already did that and wanted to see the other side of the coin and just can't seem to just move on to other battles.

Heh.

To get a true feel for things, you need either a radio handset of a field telephone. As you yell, throw the handset.

Oh yeah, and do these, too:

1. Play when it's raining. If it's dry, water your lawn for an hour to soak the ground good. Drive your car or truck back and forth to create mud.
2. Erect a tent in the mud. If the tent is not not leaking, poke some pinholes in it. If it's not raining, aim a sprinkler at the tent.
3. Make coffee. Let cool to 60 degrees. (Optional: shave using some of the coffee instead of water. If you opt for water, it must be ice water)
4. Make scrambled eggs. Let them cool in a room temperature aluminum container. They are done when they have a slight greenish tinge to them.

5. Using muddy lawn from step 1, dig a fighting position for your car.

Wonder if one of those "Brick" phones from the 80's would work too...

After you dig your foxhole make sure your Dog doesn't do a dump in it, then make sure you're facing the right direction, not facing the House but over-watching the driveway....
