BTW, WWI CE should get honorable mention for its inclusion of period music. There were over 85 songs, many of them recorded during the war. Some of them rarer stuff like Italian, Russian and Serbian songs. They were conveniently placed in a separate folder, in MP3 files. I made a CD and I used to listen to them on my way to work...great stuff. If you have CE and never cracked it open...I highly recommend it.


Does it include a version of Hanging on the Old Barbed Wire?  They still sell this on GamersGate for $20 so I almost want to grab it just for the soundtrack.   :2funny:

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.

No, sadly, "Hanging on the Old Barbed Wire" is not there. But great song. Reminds me "Saigon Warrior" from the Vietnam era. If that kind of music is of interest, I know of a great album of Vietnam era songs done by the American troops. But I'll set up another thread so I don't derail this one.

Have not seen him here or the Matrix forums in a while...

Hope he's alright. He always posted great stuff and is a good all-around feller.
