I am on the right newsgroup aren't I? If not, just ignore me. Oh, and reply by E-mail because I don't check up on the newsgroups that often. Well, before you start reeling off all sorts of games I wouldn't touch with a barge pole, I'll just tell you the "rules of war". I'm as poor as a church mouse when Mrs Chruch mouse has stolen all his money and run off with another mouse, and as such can only afford budget games. No more than £15 ($20?) please. I would also prefer either a turn based strategy game or a real time strategy game. I'm not fussy, if its fun and cheap its good enough for me. I'm stuck with a 486. I already have Dune II. I also want a very long playability. i have Tie fighter and have completed it 5 times, I have completed Dune II 4 times... Lots and lots of missions, preferably with more than just different terrain, is a must. You can suggest whatever you want, but here is a list of things I am considering. Warcraft 2 - the review is great but apparently all the missions tend to be "destroy the enemy", and after Dune 2 I'm looking for something a little different. Command and Conquer - I hear its great and have played it, but my computer won't take it at the moment (not enough disk space, even for a demo of it). UFO Enemy Unkown - I have read a strategy guide to it and it sounds good, but don't know anything about price, fun, playability etc. Wargame Construction Kit - Design your own, Sounds great, but Warcraft alos allows you to design your own missions (so I hear) so possibly I might as well get two with one stone. At the moment Warcraft 2 looks best, with C+C comming up a close second. Thanks Ranger PLAYTEST A NEW WARGAME!!! You can help playtest a new wargame being released by Enigma Figurines. You can E-mail for your FREE shareware version of the rules from gam...@sympatico.ca. Feel free to tell us what you think, even if you don't like it!
