The Intel Dump!

Oh, sure.  You're just going to wait until I'm at work before posting it.  Well fine, be that way.

I am weak 

Ooh!  Did you order a physical copy, then? 

Yes 

[Martok]

It is most noble of you to volunteer being the guinea pig.    Post impressions (whenever you get around to playing it)!

I wasn't firing it up until I had the manual because -  you know - I'm not procastinating - I just like to have the manual so I can look at it and wonder what the contents are like and how it's going to help me play the game - even though I won't read the damn thing and so I'll never play the game because, you know - I haven't read the manual.

And......just bought the DCS Mi-24 Hind module - that I'll never likely fly more than very, very occasionally!

Hmm, I'm trying to remember the last time I actually used a physical game manual to help me with a computer game.

Before I even look - is there a fully understandable process for the battles and their outcomes - I want to know why I won, I want to know why I lost

My only experience with this system is WitP and that had a version where all the major land action was taken out it was that bad

I stopped playing WitP because if you lost something you should have won and went to query it in the forum there were a hundred, did you do this, did you do that, did you make sure and then a shrug from the devs with a final ‘wellllllll you know fog of war’ 😤😤

'Fog of War' is a great catch-all though, and can be used to cover a multitude of sins.

I see you got my point...neither have/do I

I was being diplomatic.

Pffft diplomacy

I wouldn't have any idea what that's like...

Thank you for making me feel better about never having gotten around to purchasing WitP:AE, ucg.  You're a prince among men.

Heh, you’re welcome - I love the concept of the grand campaign but when you lose irreplaceable carriers as the IJN after setting the cap, setting the cap at the right height, setting the right amount of cap and they do nothing to intercept an incoming attack, after gnashing your teeth and pounding the keyboard it’s time to go home

[judgedredd]

I never saw this....

I don't know where I am with miniatures now...I really enjoyed Memoir '44, Star Wars Rebellion and I am enjoying Aliens AGDITC though
