Defending the Reich - KG_RangerBooBoo - 11-15-2009 Anyone want to play the Germans to my England in a Defending the Reich PBEM? RE: Defending the Reich - sergio - 11-19-2009 Have you already found an opponent? I would like to play it... just send me your turn and I'll defend the Reich! ;) RE: Defending the Reich - Currahee - 11-19-2009 Hey Mark, you doing ok? I got sucked into a game of WITP with Cheese-Eating Surrender Monkey (a misnomer for sure), game=one year, realtime=AT LEAST 18 mos....plus still playing a few TOAW....

Still playing away. Am finishing up playtesting the Eagle Day/Bombing the Reich game and also doing playtesting for HPS on a couple of games plus now I'm getting back into TOAW again. We'll have to see about a game after the holidays. RE: Defending the Reich - Currahee - 11-19-2009 That'll work! Should have a faster computer going by then... RE: Defending the Reich - SnowBlue - 11-20-2009 How does the HPS game compare to the Matrix game? I heard that its more focused and less complex. Which for me are not bad things, but is it so simple that the options are severely limited? RE: Defending the Reich - Gasbag - 11-20-2009 I don't have the Matrix game but I can tell you that DTR is fairly detailed for a "beer & pretzels" game. The system is easy to learn so you can be playing within an hour: no reams of rules to wade through. The AI is pretty decent; it can throw you some real curve balls. The only real issue that I have with the game is that from time to time the program will crash with a "Run-time error" message and you have to reload it and start your turn over again. This is irritating :hissy: but at least it's not frequent. RE: Defending the Reich - KG_RangerBooBoo - 11-20-2009 I've never had any problems with it crashing. It is what I would call a "beer & pretzel" type game. Not a lot of complexity but very fun. The Matrix game, which I'm on the playtest team, is a whole different ballgame. It is going to be a lot more complex but offers you a lot more realism I think. It is all about what you'd like. Me, I like both. RE: Defending the Reich - Gasbag - 11-21-2009 The "Run-time error" glitch doesn't occur with every single turn (or game) but it does happen sometimes. I know that this problem isn't limited to my machine because I remember reading a review of DTR on The Wargamer & the reviewer had exactly the same issue. I'm running the game on an XP machine with Direct X 9.0c and with the 1.01 patch installed. Here's the link for the game information: http://www.hpssims.com/Pages/products/defreich/defreich.htm so you can decide for yourself whether you want it. |
