Have never played this game ever!!!

Fury Games has now signed with Matrix Games, and we are working together on the next Strategic Command. Will use the Slitherine PBEM++ server for asynchronous multi-player.

Dip your toes in the water then jump!!!!, and then have a nice glass of vino and ponder the worries of the world and make your big decision that shouldnt hurt to much. On another note read reviews on some of the previous games...One would hop going on track record this would be better. Ive enjoyed them all to date.

SC 2 was one of the worst war games ever made.

So you need to know the details of this game and ignore the previous games in the series.

SC 2 was a great game that I played for a long time - didn't love the lack of hexes of course - but it was and is a great game IMHO.

Maybe you need to find out about the 'game designer' Hubert Cater...no need to know anymore than that.
When you play a game of Strategic Command, it is like playing a game that you've created.
Hubert, treats every game of strategic command as if it is his personal responsibility to make sure you are enjoying yourself.
Great support, honest feedback and a friendly following. Not to mention some of the Greatest war gamers the world has ever seeeen.[X(]

If you appreciate Grand Strategy(I'm pretty sure this is going back to the flavor of Hexes in very way) so that is a lot like SC1/Commander Europe at War...although this time in a modern version... Sorry but you probably have to buy this.

Time of Fury and Time of Wraith were good, but nobody supported the games so they sort of fizzed out as for Multiplayer. As they were massive. I am hoping that this is more of a streamlined machine and the community has always been one that plays a lot. So if you appreciate a lot of Multiplayer for a lot of years, this is probably going to be aimed toward that. AI for me is entertaining for a month on the best games. This game shines that way... All of them do really(true Strategy and Tactics must be in the hands of a Human Being)

Most games are better with beer, better yet wine or hard stuff.

SC1 was perfect right till it became clear even a moron could cheat during online multiplayer.

As such, take that into account when listening to the 'old guard' rant about their prowess.

SC2 was tiles. More irritating that my cycle on a hot day. I couldn't care less how many releases he beat out of it.

Hoping SC3 features the much reliable multiplayer environment I have enjoyed here with Slitherine group, otherwise hexes won't help it.

Everything I try at every different site and every different browser comes up with no results found, error 404, password requests, authentication errors, etc. The world is conspiring against me !

... or, is this the punchline to how to keep an idiot occupied ??
