WC-Armada, U8, PS (I found the combat of PS to be really pitiful compared to AOTP and even the EGA dinosaur Battlehawks 1942). Sad truths constantly fill our mortal reality. >What was wrong with the first two WC games? Most people agree that >they're great. WC2 was recently inducted into CGW's hall of fame, even... Agreed. The WC I and II and all its add-ons (except for the speech pack) are an A-grade classic in the same way that Tolstoy's "War and Peace" has become to the literary world. (Of course I am excluding the 2 WCA games). As for CGW's hall of fame... big deal. Do real people vote for those things anyway, or is it the reviewers? - Falcon
