Wow! So someone does actually listen eh? LOL, thats actually one of the things I really like about Shrapnel. I thought maybe that email got lost to Sarge but thats all I really wanted was one teaser screen shot. Now I ask, was that really so hard?
Interesting choice as well I remember the downed gliders in 101st but not any fighters, but it has been a while since I played it. Now as far as Sarge's article goes I don't know HPS and don't worry Matrix games has not gotten any of my money yet.
But I think we forgot to mention Battlefront.com, with Combat Mission being their flag ship product I guess. I'd have to say that I'll take good game play over fancy graphics everyday. As long as the graphics are what I would describe as functional I am happy. In addittion I'm certain the G-Force 3 is a nice video card but unitl my lotto numbers hit I'm not spending $500 on it, there just isn't a game I want to play that badly. I read an article on Combat Mission 2 that is suppose to release this fall and while they are recomending a 16mb 3D card at this point, it will still run on a 8mb card. So while they are making use of some of the 3D technology that has come out over the Last few years they are far from the bleeding edge. Which both I and my very old machine think is a great strategy.
