I just found this "Titans of Steel" game. Looks like an accurate clone of the old "Mech Warrior" game for the Amiga, from dozens of years ago. I'm about to buy it and give it a run. Looks super-cool!

Has anyone played Hearts of Iron?

I want to buy it, but I am mainly interested in human vs. human games.

I bought it and played it. Very buggy. The game almost makes sense. As a game engine it is a good effort but the bugs overwhelm the playing experience. I gave up on it. IF you can get it second hand it's worth a try otherwise Waiting for SEV would be better.

Having a great time with Dominions, an extremely well-done fantasy/medieval computer strategy game (see www.illwinter.com ).
