Finally taking the plunge

[Zenra]

While I never have the time I would like for playing, for a long time now I've read about HOI2-DD-ARMA in other forums (War in the Pacific, SR2010/2020) but resisted the temptation to get involved with "another" grand strategic game. Well, after purchasing a couple of days ago, going through the tutorial and reading here (especially the AAR's - which are excellent, by the way), all I can say is that I have definitely been missing out on a very good thing. This game is awesome!

So, just wanted to say hello, and looking forward to participating here. Looks like a great community and I am as awed by the variety of mods as by the quality of the help and AARs here. I am sure I will have questions, but until then wish me luck - the IJA/IJN is about to kick some serious western butt...

PS. I didn't see it discussed here yet, but I also wanted to add kudos on the manual - very well done, and something not often seen these days.

Welcome to our obsession. Say goodbye to your social life.

You'll find that the Doomsday Forum is much more active than this one.

Yep, I saw that announcement, too. At least it looks like I will have several months to learn DD/ARMA first.

My wife is going to kill me... :rofl:

Welcome to the Forums. Say Goodbye to 100 hours of your life just to see which nation you really want to play as.

Welcome. Be prepared to play hours as a nation that you'd never even consider to be interesting.

I echo Emu...welcome to our obsession. I have lost many a weekend (and arrived bleary eyed and tired for work during the week) to this game. The only thing that I have found that compares is the Civilization series. So enjoy and don't come crying to us when we are the only ones who will still talk to you (just kidding(been there done that with my wife, too)).

Sorry, have to disagree. Civ games I & II was OK, recently bought Civ IV with expantion pack and I was not impressed. ATM I play HOI2 and Medieval 2, in fact it is about the only games I play.

What I can agree to, is that there is considerable time lost due to these games. :rofl:
