I have been registered as a member for quite some time, over a year I think. I couldn't find any of my old posts (maybe they have been purged), but that's ok. I recently re-entered the war torn world of HoI via the Platinum version. I have long been trying to find a good WWII strategy game (either turn based or RTS) and never quite found one to my liking. The ones I have tried are Sudden Strike I & II, War Times and Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord. All of them have things I liked about them, but they also felt like they had something missing. As far as my gaming goes, I like gathering and managing resources. I also like going through the motions of learning new technologies and upgrading units.
So, when I saw HoI
latinum I decided to give it another shot. I think I may have given up on it too soon. My first game I played as Germany and got my butt whipped in Poland and France My next game I didn't do much better, but that may have been because Ireland is a rough country to try and conquer the world with . Like I said, though, I may have not given it enough of a chance. I remembered from the original version, it had alot of stuff I like in strategy games. Plus, I don't need to tell you folks how cool it is to be able to choose virtually any country to play.
Anyway, I thought I'd stop by and say hello and get to know the community again.
