Hearts Iron 2 and Gary Grigsby's world at war

I haven’t played this in a while. Maybe my group missed something. It always seemed to me thought that France could easily hold its coast while running over Austria and even Prussia if necessary and then slowly over power Russia since they are making so much money at that point. I always found that Britain’s only chance was to try to run through Spain and hopefully do it faster than France gets through Prussia and Austria, then kill France from both sides. However, it has been a while and my opponents tended to also make major mistakes so that could have lead to me finding this game very one sided.

I agree Xeno 1939 game was bad ass
russkie infantry at 2$ was pretty brutal
but it was fun to use each countries special units
I think us fighters were 10$ if I remember right

@Dylan:

Actually when it all add up it most likely does, just like taxes.

What are you babbling about?

Some more details (interviews) from the devs: http://thegamershub.co.uk/2010/03/hubcast-05/ and http://www.massively.com/2010/03/22/interview-with-world-of-tanks-mike-zhivets/

I gave WoW the free trial duration to hook me. They failed.

The only MMOs i have looked at since starting Lotro - Star Wars The Old Republic- That looks friggin awesome, and Star Trek Online which I will wait until they put a free trial out. I keep hearing mixed things about it. Everything else I have seen didn’t seem all that great (Warhammer, Age Conan, and others). I have heard a Harry Potter MMO is in the works and I plan to pass on that one.

Also heard something about a Wheel of Time MMO but those folks have to be dreaming….

LOL That was good.

I just think the best combo is this:

movement: small stick style joystick ( because you use a few fingers rather than perhaps 4 fingers for W-A-S-Z)

Looking around and aiming the gun: mouse

The mouse (or your moving your hand rather is much faster than using fingers to manipulate the other joystick for xy axis movements because it only requires you to move the hand while you can fire with the same hand. The joystick requires you to move fingers and take your hand partially off to use those 4 buttons.

I’ve always found the history of the War card game quite interesting, especially when you compare it to Solitaire. War is one of those classic card games that is so simple yet engaging, much like Solitaire. Both games have been around for ages and have a sort of timeless appeal. War is thought to date back to at least the 19th century, and it is often one of the first card games kids learn because of its simplicity. Solitaire, on the other hand, has a rich history that goes back even further, with origins in Europe in the late 18th century. What I find fascinating about War is that it relies heavily on luck, while solitaire requires a bit more strategy and patience. This makes each game unique in its way. War is straightforward and fast-paced, which is great for quick, casual play. Solitaire can be more relaxing and requires a bit more thought, which can be very satisfying when you finally win. Both games have their charm and offer different kinds of enjoyment. War might not have the depth of solitaire, but it has its own appeal in its simplicity and the way it can quickly decide a winner. I think both games have survived for so long because they are easy to learn and play, making them accessible to everyone, regardless of age or skill level.

never mind that was off the subject :wink:
