Anyone got any hands on reviews of this game?

I've been thinking of picking up that one.  It's by the same guys who did Manassas and second Manassas games.  I avoided those because they aren't really interesting battles.

Ordered it a couple days ago and it arrived today.

Played around with the demo.  Graphics are hideous (reminds me of late 1990's 3D like Shogun total war and Myth.  Ugly and muddy).  I don't know if it's better then Sid Mieir's Gettysburg though.  That was my favorite (and it got me interested in 19th century warfare).
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I'll fire it up and post.

In a sense, having a Mac is liberating when it comes to games - the choice is so small, you do not spend a lot of money or time on them. :P
Appleanity is truly a fascinating religion. :)

Been playing a bit of EUIII, just lost a promising Deep Elf Conjurer in Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup (he'd been way too lucky and had it coming), and finally got back into SHIII and started a Med. campaign. Ah, how I missed "Flugzeug gesichtet! ALARM!" every time I surface during the day. ^_^

Damn it. Blizzard is making wanting to buy Diablo III harder by the day.

There's no pause in the game! No Pause! even in SP mode, idling gets you kick. WTF.

What about respawns?

That's why Martinus, for all his spending on the trappings of wealth and taste, will never really have class.  He's just trying too hard to be something he isn't (an intelligent, tasteful gentleman), trying desperately to hide what he is (Polish trash with money and a severe behavioral disorder), and it shows in everything he says and does.  He's not our equal, not by a mile.

Gotta run back to your corpse or use the spirit, like WoW.

Nah, it has a series of checkpoints.

If you really want it that badly, just wait until the first price drop so that patches have fixed whatever problems there are.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I dont want it that much. I have more interest in Torchlight 2 & Grim Dawn then D3.

I've been doing Dues Ex.  I'm not so good on the stealth bit. Guns blazin', baby!
