Where do I say I will NEVER buy the game? You cannot find that on this forum.
And 1:1 scale sounds like you command EACH soldier individually. Rustem was excited about the release and I like that. My apologies for casting any doubt on his enthusiasm. He writes in English better than I do in his language that is for sure!
So if I post something about a new product (AGEOD, Matrix, etc) and I am super hyped about it and you are not does that mean that you should stay in your corner and not cast doubt on my parade? You guys kill me with this mentality. Why not look at it from the other angle sometime? So if I am hyped about HPS/JTS products then folks should only say something ONCE negative about it and shut their traps? C'mon! Be realistic. Like that has ALWAYS been the case.
I have been playing wargames since age 14 (or earlier ...). I am all for the Napoleonic era having a great game. I have said this before and will say it again: I do not have the funds currently to buy Histwar:LG but if the game is corrected and I can round up the dollars then count me in. I am a bit skeptical about the interface for my eyes but if John Corbin, who has awful vision, can put up with the HPS interface then hey, I can try and look at (what I consider) a less than crisp HW:LG GUI too.
Go HW:LG and I hope that the fixes that many of us would like to see are out SOON! Spend more time on that and less on the extras. Enjoy guys (but remember, any product put up here is open for criticism or comment no matter how many times folks have expressed their opinion).
