well there seems to be the "pc games are truly dying" posts, since the
release of the ps2 and whatnut. . . so i just wanted to be a beacon of
light to those oppressed by the console hype, becuase you know, we all need
it!!!

anyway, i havent been much into grognard games the past few years though
combat mission and a few close combats i liked a lot. . . i used to play a
few grisby games on my old apple 2 so i'm kind of a semi "casual" wargamer
if you can call it that. . .my point is that of all strategy genres the
wargame is here to stay. . . even IF pc games do "die" there will always be
the grognard games.

etc
