Enjoying the Game

Post by Gerry4321 »

Hello:

I am really enjoying the game. It was my last stop in computer tactical wargames after having tried many others.

I love the fact I spend my time just telling units where to go and what to do. As opposed to other systems that require so much micromanagement that it is more work than fun. The interface is great (although I go too quick sometimes and wish there was an undo button!).

And the PBEM Server is great. Makes MP so easy.

I have many ideas/requests so please realize when I post those that I am really liking the game!

Me and a few friends are having a blast playing BA2. Would be nice if BA1 units could be brought into BA2 so we could play with British and American units or the BA2 enhancements could be retrofitted to BA1, especially the skirmish mode.

Unfortunately the gfx styles have changed so much that using the BA1 units isn't really an option. We would need to rebuild all of the 100s of BA1 units!

How about a BA1 Gold Edition that includes smoke, partial damage and a skirmish mode (and other BA2 enhancements)?

One of the reasons for a sequel was to avoid having to make things backward compatible. I guess we could do a BA2 version of the BA1 campaigns (if that makes sense) but I am not sure how many people would be willing to buy it?

Hey Guys!

Thanks for the hard work on this and don't get me wrong....just my opinion and suggestions...

Love and enjoying this game Oh wait I am kicking ass and near Moscow and the game stops??? Now the russians counter?? We play these games for the what if's in history..Now I have to play the Russian counter offensive....Ummmm No!!! How fun would it be to get to Moscow or Berlin?? Also ...how great would it be to have Leaders in this game and or to name and create your own?? Including leaders of State....Hitler in his Bunker etc...

I guess I have to create my own Campaign...

Again do not get me wrong wonderful job and thank you so much for the hard work on this including the Modders and designers...

:D
