Can't believe HPS pulled it off....

[Volcano Man]

This France '14 title is fantastic....HPS has done what I thought was impossible....make an operational level WWI that is actually playable AND most importantly.....FUN.

Wow, not sure what to say... "thanks" just doesn't quite do it!

Lets just say that I have been worried if anyone would even be interested in WW1 at this scale from the beginning. Foul certainly knows that about a few weeks before it was released I started second guessing whether or not I wasted four years of my life working on F14, and whether or not it would be well received but then I finally felt better once I realized that it doesn't quite matter as long as I like to play it myself. ;) It looks like my panic / concerns were unjustified now.

In regards to the movement sounds, I actually created unique movement sounds for both PzC and MC series as well (about two years ago), but curiously they have not appeared in any titles yet. Perhaps they were just lost by accident, I will ask and see what happens. In regards to the Nappy, ACW, REN series, movement sounds would be most useful there. Unfortunately the OOB is setup differently (unit classes and types aren't as easily defined like they are in FWWC, PzC, MC) but maybe something can be figured out here at some point (I have actually done some work to help bring movement sounds into those games, but not sure what will come from it).

In any case, you are probably one of the few that actually play with the sounds on, like I do. Personally I don't see how these games can be played without the sounds on, sure I know it plays a little slower, but you have to have some kind of immersion!
