At first a serious bug.. played the demo with no problems but now I get the full version and can't get a single generated battle to start - keep getting dumped to the intro screen. Also can't get the music to shut off without turning all sound off.. Once fixed I will change my rating..

1st Edit.. designers are responding to the first problem, seems to be effecting the "no survivors" game mode. Conquer and decapitation modes seem to work. However, I have not seen a response yet for the inability to turn off the music without turning off all sound.

I will update this review when both are verified fixed.

2nd Edit.. v1.81 fixed the problem with the "no survivors" game mode. Also found out the sound issue was a misunderstanding as the sound controls are a bit confusing. Apparently the music slider scales the sound effects and the speaker slider scales the music.

With the above.. this is a very good, and simple quick to learn, wargame. Even though there are only 3 units (not including a general in the decapitation mode) there is plenty of strategy and no micromanagement. For a quick and dirty wargame at a reasonable price and with good developer support I would recommend it to the casual wargamer.

Thanks.

Overall a good game for the price.

Suggestions;

* A city or town map fight would be good.
* An option to randomize weapon spots so a player can't just camp at the same weapon spawn location.
* Have the bad guys try some flank maneuvers instead of bee lining it to the character which often results in their funneling into an easy slaughter.
* Have the bad guy spawn points move about a bit. Example, drop one or a few and then move to another spot.
* A bit longer reloading time for the minigun..right now it loads faster then a pistol.
* The RPG should do more damage I think.
* A 40mm grenade launcher like the M79 would be wicked to have.
* "Inventory" hotkey that pauses the game so you can pick a weapon, see the ammo, etc..

Good, but very weird in a good way, variety of bad guys.. and some shoot back which definitely increases the challenge..;-)

For those that don't live just for playing online against often rude players.. this game is a good and cheap alternative.

Thanks.

Original comment: Completely failed.. paid for, installed, the configuration tool crashes whenever I click on anything at all. Tried to install twice.. failed both times. No way to access it from inside FSX either that I could find even though you see screenshots of it during flight. Any ideas? So far.. $12.49 down the drain.

Updated: I think I figured it out..I had FSXSE on drive C and the REX 4 on drive E..  the configuration did not allow me to set the path without crashing so I reinstalled FSXSE on E drive and all addons.. now it doesn't crash.

Trying it out now.
