Sounds awesome.

I'll never have the patience to even begin to understand what to do, but wow. I think my head exploded just reading the features.

Wow, I didn't know Scott Hamilton could do anything but a double axel? He is really one multi-dimensional, squirelly looking ice skater dude.

I clicked on this thread thinking it was something about drinking. What's a grognard?

Not sure the whole history on the term, but basically it refers to an ultra-hardcore wargamer, a la Fritz. :)

les grognards is French for "the grumblers", Napoleon saved the Old Guard as a last reserve refusing to let them fight, they would complain (grumble) about never being let into battle even though they were the best, most experienced troops in the army

I have no idea what any sentence on that site meant.

Well, there must be enough people out there that consider that level of detail "fun" but the learning curve must be ridiculous unless you're already at that level of technical expertise.

Has anyone played either their Korea 85 or Fulda Gap 85? Both of those interest me too.

yeah, I have both. If you look around in our Dynasty section I have a K85 scenario there. I have played several PBEM F85 games. The game has an excellent pace.

Another WOW, plz review it as soon as you have the chance to play it. I'm not playing any game since the last 3 weeks (just HT and the FOFC online leagues i'm in), i'm into work fever updating all my websites etc but in the future i will try that game.
