I just tried to load my Battleground 3:Waterloo on my windows 7 laptop. No go. Is there a decent thread on this? If I get it running I would challenge you to a game :)

This game has the best map but the game system is outmoded. Jonny :(

The HPS game maps are not as nice graphically as the Talonsoft/Matrix one (IMO). The buildings, villages, and chateaus on the HPS 2D maps are confusing as there is nothing to really visually distinguish one from the other. You have to check each hex to determine what it is.

I'm playing Sevastopol in NRC right now, and you literally have to 'test' (using an infantry unit) each hexside along the city wall to determine whether it can be crossed or not.

I prefer the HPS games for mechanics and variety, but their artwork needs help.
