Oh yes, I forgot that DBP was in Daisy's list. DBP is also a popular title however, I have only played it two times and so I can not fairly compare it to the others, which I have played alot more.

RE: Christmas present to myself, maybe
Yes, it will be my first!
I have decided on the Pacific War - mainly because the Africa at War mod is available - the SADF v FAPLA/SWAPO/CUBAN clashes clinched it for me.
Damn... I checked again, PW does not seem to be available as a download only option. So $50 for the game and another $20 for postage = more than R550.00 (South African Rands). That is a lot of money for me.
It seems that I will then have to consider one of the other titles - by the way is anybody here playing the Falklands game?

Ok, so the plastic money paid for SB:PW and John Tillers Campaign Series.
@ Kolc : you must be enjoying it !
The Falklands will then probably be my next purchase - its the 30 year anniversary afer all. I can still remember the news reports of the conflict on TV - and it grabbed an 8 year old boys attention.

Falklands is a very good game, in the middle of a tight battle right now. If you get PW within a week or so, let me know and you can play in my Africa at War tourney. Some very good SADF battles in that mod, the Ratel is awesome vehicle.

I read about your tournament and started reading up on the title and mod. Being able to play as the SADF swung it for me.
Theres even a scenario for an Operation that one of my brothers participated in - operation Caribou (Its actuall name is Operation Reindeer - the attacks on Cassinga and more specifically 61 Mechanised Infantry Brigade out of Bloemfontein attacking Chetequera). Very much looking forward to playing this one.
