doh!

I know I was just telling you so you could know.

Well, I've bought played it jrk and I'm afraid that I found it about as exciting as watching paint dry.

It has all the bad points of a full-on simulator, yet with the bad points of an 'arcadey' game!

It's not a patch on SWON or HOTP, though WW1 is not so much my bag so perhaps I'm being unfair?

The worst bit is it could have easily been sooo much better, as it has a few good points and is so nearly there...


I actually like SWON Archangel! (nice HO-IX BTW )
