While on the topic of war...
I upgraded my Hearts of Iron game to the latest 1.03 patch so I've been playing another game. I love this grand strategic type of game, it's just a blast. It reminds me a lot of American Civil War: Sumter to Appomatix; which was a grand strategic game of the Civil War. That game never worked very well, but the few games that I got to finish were loads of fun...especially when I managed to win as the Confederacy without cheating. ACW was a broken game, lots of the features would work for only so long, and that's really sad, because it could have been an amazing game. Even broken I managed to have a lot of fun with it. I'm glad that Paradox has made an effort to fix the things that were broken with HoI, though I think they had less choice about it, since the game was horrendous out of the box.
