TOD and ES arriving today!

[TheBigRedOne]

First off, I am glad that I found this site and am anxiously awaiting the arrival of TOD and ES today, confirmed by USPS tracking (fingers crossed). I have been a wargamer for many years, mainly Close Combat, the original and ABTF. I lost interest after ABTF as it seemed like the engine was changed and I just couldn't get into it. I also played Combat Mission for a while. I have a few ASL games at home but never could find enough people interested in playing them. Recently, I went on a search for an ASL comparable computer game and I stumbled upon HPS Simulations. In my research I found this site and read a lot of reviews about the games. Needless to say, my interest got peaked and my need for wargaming has been pegged for the last few of weeks. As a result, I ordered TOD and ES from NWS Online and felt like a kid in a candy store. Still not sure how I left the store with only two games! Anyway, tonight will be filled with great gaming that I cannot wait for. I plan on working on the game mechanics and learning the system for a week or two and then try my hand at PBEM.

Welcome aboard!

Make sure you go to the HPS website for the latest updates for both games, then head over to Task Force Echo Four for a variety of post-release scenario/sound and graphics mods for both games.

Post any and all questions for the players here, and if you've got any other questios, Mad_Dog or I will do our best to answer them.

The learning curve is a little steep, but once you get the hang of the game, you'll be as addicted as the rest of us!
