OK Chaplain2 I'll bite. I was really looking forward to HoI but a friend of mine playing it said the naval model (specifically carrier operations) really sucked. I have not talked to him in awhile, but he basically told me the game would never make it and I respect his opinion. He described it as a wanna be turn based strategic level game and loved a lot of the innovative concepts included in the game, especially the tech model. His final comment was wait for HoI2. Now since I don't have time to devote to on line play i have to either play myself or the AI or do PBEM, which I prefer. Haven't seen any RTS game yet that can be played PBEM so that leaves the AI. If I played against myself I would have to be every nation and I would probably never get through the first couple of turns. Now tell me I'm wrong Chap2, tell me the game has a decent AI, at least as good as AA or SC and I will consider the purchase. Tell me that the carrier operations and naval model are true to the Pacific WW2 theater. It won't take much of a shove to put me over the top.
