Less going to work and more playing.

I only have to wait until Monday for my yearly discount coupon.

Here at ACD, we all pee the same color.

He might change my mind. God forbid content on ACD convinces me to buy a game.  ::)

Nice review.  :bigthumb:

I played the original hexy Strategic Command quite a bit back when Karens still ruled the Interwebzies but the later tile games seemed a bit clunky with their macro-style units and terrain occasionally forced into more micro-style battles such as Market-Garden.

Thanks for the write-up, bbmike!  I'd already had my eye out for this one, and your article doesn't lessen my wanting to get it.  :) 




Mike, any input on the naval portion of the game.

I'm curious about this as well.

GOG currently has the game on sale for 25% off, so I went ahead and picked it up.  May try and play it this weekend, if I can find a few nanoseconds free in which to do so.
