RE: HPS Ancient Warfare Series

Good info on the game, thanks for the writeup! It is not one that I am looking at myself, but I know there are a number of people looking for insight on it.

As to putting the game in the Classic Wargames ladder, I don't think that would work well just because the Classic Wargames is based, or at least was originally, on older "classic" computer wargames, such as the original The Ardennes Offensive and War in Russia, rather than a period of time or game style. So I don't think that would be a good fit there either, but it is a quiet enough ladder that it would probably work if needed.

As to Smolensk having 14 "patches", that is not really correct in the sense of bug fixes, at the least. The game had few bugs out of the box, and continues without anything significant, if any, although a few have popped up over the years. The vast majority of the patches have been purely updates to the game engine to bring it in line with the latest updates made, so nearly one per game release and you get the current number of patches, which are really updates rather than bug fixes, with a few exceptions.
