Anyone play WWIIOL?

Anybody going to Origins??? I’m bringing and running my pimped out Memoir 44 Dday set there. Anybody interested???

Hard to say, really. HoI3 has a lot more to it, and splits units even further, so that when you build your divisions you decide what types of brigades make them up. Also in HoI3, the war system is changed a bit, so that you have to have your neutrality at a certain point depending upon the other nation’s threat level before being able to declare war on them, whereas in HoI2, you could just go for it, but risk that a major power stops your expansionism if you hit someone whose independence they have guaranteed. If you plan on ever playing a minor power, then don’t bother trying to do it in HoI3, it’ll take you 12 months solid to be able to hit anyone else, regardless of which nation you pick. If you plan on only doing the bigger countries that were involved in WW3, then it won’t make a difference.

HoI3 also has more glitches to it, but you can expect them to be fixed by patching.

Really, it depends on if HoI3 is too much micromanagement for you to handle, or if you want to ever play a minor power such as bulgaria or brazil.

I own Tide of Iron, looks great but I haven’t played it yet.

If you have an xbox 360 and are connected to xbox live, you can stream the video. If not youtube should have it.

I do!  Have a Dark Elf and Lizardman army for Warhammer, and Eldar, Tyranid, Chaos, Space Marine and Genestealer Cult for 40K.

All Axis & Allies games. Some American Civil War games. Also Railroad Tycoon. No time or players for any others. I thought that I would like online versions of AA but the commitment to others that I do not know is awkward. I feel bad if I start and then have to leave before the game is over. If its someone that I know then we can always save and continue later. I am involved with this forum only.

I’ll hop on X-fire chat and bother you.

Anyways, perhaps we could play first as a team against the computers, so you can help me a little bit in improving my play.

If you really love Stratego try and get Ultimate Stratego. It is out of print but you can find it online for 25$. It has a 4 player version and a 2 player lightning version. I think it might be even better than the original Stratego.
