The Deal of the Week, part two!

[Grim.Reaper]

Thank you

[JudgeDredd]

What Nefaro said. But the graphics are quite crisp

[Grim.Reaper]

I believe last day for these sales and to my own amazement, I stayed strong and did not purchase uncommon valor...although there is time left today:)

[JudgeDredd]

Worth the price...honest  ;)

[Grim.Reaper]

Worth the price...honest  ;)

Stop that!!!  Don't make me rethink that decision....I have WITP so kind of thinking that should be good enough and I have never made it far in that game:)

[JudgeDredd]

Well to be fair...if you have WitP, then you're not really missing anything

[Grim.Reaper]

Makes me feel better:)

[JudgeDredd]

But...on the other ha....no...NO. I'll stop  :P

[Grim.Reaper]

I cured myself...loaded up witp and immediately was overwhelmed so it reminded me this likely isn't my type of game:)

[Toonces]

If you have WitP vanilla, there's really no reason to get UV unless it's to play MP against another person in UV.

The same scenario from UV is available in WitP vanilla, for the most part.

WitP: AE is another story...

[Grim.Reaper]

Yeah, I have witp:ae....either way, after loading it last night....just remembered how difficult it was for me.  I know that I hear uv might be easier but still similar from what I can see.

[JudgeDredd]

I love the idea of these grand strat games - especially a pacific one with island hopping and aircraft carriers - but I just can't seem to grasp the scale of everything. For example...how many troops IS enough to hold that town? Should I be holding it at all?

From what I gather part of the strategy for the US is tio pull back and hunker down for a while - but I just don't get that...like - pull back to where?

And what about that wee island over there...is that useful?

There is one thing I think the game needs...range circles when clicking on a possible airfield - or at least some way of knowing if I put effort into building an airfield there - what will that cover? How will that benefit me....I couldn't see anything like that in UV. In fact you do know the ranges of your aircraft (or can find them out) and then look at the hexes around your point and work out roughly what would be covered by your aircraft - but that just seems like too much work...

[jomni]

So many factors goes into the decision,  Island size, terrain, current level of infrastructure (port size,  etc.).  Supply source.   Current range of aircraft.

CoG:EE == Improved yet also buggier edition of the Forge of Freedom engine (which was itself an improved and less buggy edition of the original CoG).

Still, a great choice for the sale. Free boxed upgrade is a great choice, too.

I know nothing about C:NaW, so no opinion there.

I wonder how their sales are going...? I worry they aren't getting the news out far enough.
