just say NO! even if your 'under' 50yrs old! this game belongs to the 'nice and crisp' 2d universe of gaming - PERIOD!


I'm a young whippersnapper and I hate that stuff! Just look at the nauseating graphics of the recent addition to the Hearts of Iron series.

Nah, I appreciate the price. Some of that stuff is so smooth and silky I'd be a flat out alcoholic if it were cheap.

Under 50 here too ... and yes to NO to 3D!

2D is PERFECT for the game mechanics.

Now, I wouldn't complain if in that 2D world there was fluid zoom (with increasing detail as one zooms in), and (this one is a biggie), we could move windows/dialog boxes out of the way, or type in coordinates to go to a hex

Nor, if push came to shove, if the combat animations were in 3D, maybe actually reflecting "moves" made by the die rolls ... c'mon: you too would want to see the those dive bombers push over into a 80 degree plummet while the flattop below heels hard to avoid the 6 torpedo tracks streaking toward her!

When TELCOs first started to add fancy features like call-forwarding to desktop phones, they gave us a briefing on the codes to use. The # symbol was called an "octothorp". Look that up in your Funk & Wagnall's! (reference to TV known only to geezers).

If so, WHAT AN HONOUR

If not, I'd like to know who else is a fellow hashtagger and twittererer.
