Wow, I bet if we had a front page it would be starting to look pretty good!  :bigthumb:

Despite all the shit I got about this last time, we're really trying hard to bridge the gap here.  There's going to be a dedicated focus on our front door being much more of a destination for the community, and not simply an inconvenience to bypass on the way to a forum area.




So what did you think of the review?  Useful?  Informative?

Actually, the front page is starting to look really good. One thing I would suggest is adding a Forum button (Tab?) under the ACD logo. If it's easy to get to from the front page I think people will link to it instead of directly to the forum.

As for the review, it was ok but it seemed more like an overview than a review to me. I'd have to think a bit more about it on why it feels that way. Maybe it needs more detail?

Operation Exporter is also covered by another very good game; 'Slouch Hats and Eggshells' published by Legion.

I should add that its also covered by one of MMP's OCS games; 'Reluctant Enemies'

Yes, but he did the new version done by Compass - so that don't count  :nerd:

Interestingly, VvB also designed 'Rommels War' and the same game system is used for 'Slouch Hats and Eggshells'.
