On the Serbian Front, at Novi Sad, I have the advantage of General, von Frank, and power, over twice as strong.

Well, gentlemen, as you may have guessed, I am not going to continue this.  I loaded up the game today in an effort to reinvigorate my interest and I failed.  Neither the time period nor the conflict hold any interest for me.  I want to like it, because so many people here that I hold in esteem adore both conflict and period, but, alas, I just can't.  Had I more familiarity with the AGE engine, it might have made this better, but, that engine and it's execution seem difficult for no other reason than to be difficult.  I thank all of you for the encouragement, but I just can't continue.

Hey, I'm just grateful for the effort you *did* put into it.  I know the difficulties of trying to get into a game covering a period/conflict in which one has little interest, so I applaud you for getting as far as you did.

I totally understand your pain MD.  I mentioned this to Banzai_Cat in his B-29 thread and I'll say it again here.  Life is too short to waste on something you're not having fun with.  The style of gameplay from AGEOD does take a while to get used to and even when one does understand it still isn't everyone's cup of tea.  Good for you though on giving it an honest effort!   O0

I still have to continue my campaign but am distracted by too many other games atm.

Thank you again for all your kind words, gentlemen.  It encourages me to try my hand at something else in the future.

Great work on this, MD. I still want to try it and your gameplay keeps my interest in it piqued.
