James,Do you have a link handy for your Games Domain review? I'd really like to read it, but wasn't able to find it on the GD site by searching the archives. Perhaps it's too recent a review to be in their archive index? Thanks, Peter -------------------- "Didja ever notice that guy who pulls out right in front of you, then slows down to 30? Then whenever you get to a passing zone, he speeds up... Then the double solids return, and he's back to 30. And keeps his left turn signal on the whole time? Hitler was much worse than that guy" -- overheard on plastic.com

Thanks for the review - I wouldn't have really considered trying because I mainly play Panzer Elite for ground warfare. Also I read a very good book by Daniel Bolger with the extensive title "Dragons at war: Land battle in the desert" ISBN 0-8041-0899-4 which describes training at Fort Irwin. I found it helped me out somewhat with Panzer elite but more so with "Armor attacks". I imagine it would help (people like me) with BCT Commander.Virtoz -------------------- Hvad fanden er meningen!

Just came across this...should really be in the 'useful links' section of the review since it describes in detail every weapon system in the game: http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/index.html Peter
p.s. Virtoz, I've read Bolger's book on the Light Infantry called 'Death Ground'. He certainly has a way with words! BCT is very different from PE...especially since it's modern vs WW2. If you like Steel Beasts, especially playing around on the map screen, then you'll definitely like BCT. -------------------- "Didja ever notice that guy who pulls out right in front of you, then slows down to 30?

Thanks for the cues to the other Bpolger publications - I'll look out for them - points taken on the difference between PE and BCT. I suppose my point really was that Bolger's book got me thinking better (and wishing for a combined arms approach to PE ) I suppose I have been guilty of waiting for "Steel Beasts II 3D".
...and of not having enough time... ..and playing DOD2 too much... ...and IL-2 not enough... ...and F4...still... Virtoz -------------------- Hvad fanden er meningen!
