I was hoping a Battle Academy Cold War game would be released...

We have a perfectly functional Red Storm game for that...

Indeed - head and shoulders above BA in terms of reality.

I have been waiting on news like this for years. Hopefully, they can make a game where the Soviet artillery phase doesn't last for 45 minutes

Big +1 !

OMG - What a hoot - I thought I was the only one who got bored during artillery barrages  ;D

That's when you do some of the household chores you should have been doing instead of playing on the computer. Start turn, do laundry, play turn, start next turn, fill dishwasher, play turn, rinse, repeat.

Completely different games and different scales.

I wish BA would venture into a more modern setting.

I know BA is a completely different animal in terms of scope, gameplay, and depth. It would be cool to see Cold War and Modern conflicts in a similar engine/style. I think that will happen at some point with both the Archon and BA engines being moddable.

You're not the only one.  The only thing that currently keeps me from playing Steel Panthers is the interminable wait times on the AI's turn.  I pretty much just curl up with a good book on artillery phases.

You obviously don't do a whole heap of household chores - either that or your dishwasher's kaput ;)

There's an option to speed up arty right?  You mean it takes so long even when the option is activated?

Need to see alot more info.

Actually, I do all the chores as I am a single parent, and my dishwasher gets used nearly every day. Some weekend days twice.

Okay, I am really sorry.  It was just a (obviously crap) joke on the idea that if you have a dishwasher you shouldn't have to rinse.  Also, FWIW, I do all that stuff at my house, so I'd never make light of it.

[Staggerwing]

Father Ted- No offense taken!  ;)

If I had thought my post through I would have dug up a smiley washing a plate to end it with:

[RyanE]

btw, you should rinse if you have a septic system or you want your dishwasher to last longer...dishwashing grog here.
