So this popped up on my list on steam.

Not sure how good it is ... but a crap load of money .... even I may not bite on this  ...

But may be a lighter version of WiTE2

You may talk the talk and appear to be quite easy going to foster popularity, but to the MAN I say F*CK YOU." And Steve G is F******g rude ? Just another day on the BF forum ... one demented idiots reaction to BF disagreeing about the thickness of the armour on a Tiger II turret mantlet.

I think the price is to steep for me

 Crazy price.

Not even a good AI to play against and the map and units are very basic.

Definite pass.

That map (shown on Steam page) appears to be identical to The Russian Campaign.

I wish them well. At least at that price they won't have to sell as many to make money.  ???

High price, no AI, crashes on launch, no response or presence from a new developer... big nope.

A War of a Madman's Making - a text-based war planning and political survival RPG

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.

If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.

I guess it's sort of nice that the word "tactical" seems to refer to some kind of seriousness during your moments of mental clarity.

I wish every game company that puts out a lousy product would price it so high that I'll avoid it.
That's customer service.

I know the map (both the new game and The Russian Campaign) isn't oriented exactly north, but seeing Berlin higher than Moscow remains weird.
