Joe, I have 0 idea as to who you are either. However, I'm willing to look past this if you can listen. Let's say I'm driving a buggy. How many drivers does a buggy have? One. And let's just say you want to get in the buggy. Help me out and I just might let you on.

Goob, you must have missed the part about me having no idea who you are. It is, however, safe to assume that I am not prone to delivering random messages to people from complete strangers.

You're welcome :-)

Okay Joe, thank you very much for the information. Please inform Melissa to take video games more lightly. Thaaaaaanks!

I have no idea who you are Goob, or to which Melissa you are referring to. Perhaps you should ask this Melissa yourself, or at least find someone who knows who you are...?

Why is Melissa mad at me

You want a good, non arcadey WW2 game? I have one (well, two) for you. Combat Mission (Western Front) and Combat Mission 2 (Eastern Front).

It is 3D war game. Turn based.

Think on that.

What it means is that both players issue their commands, then the comp takes over and the units execute your commands to the best of the units' abilities.

Hit tanks slow down or panic and back down, infantry gets pinned, they go berserk, etc.

No more twitchy gaming - take your time, think it through for all units, issue your commands and hit the button, and then wait (or not) for opponent to finish his turn (AT THE SAME TIME, no ugo-igo here!) and watch the fun.

Can't recommend this enough.
