Great game, got a final beta copy from the distributor a while ago. It's basically the same game with a lot of improvements, such as wind affecting the fires lit by molotov cocktails, tanks covering arcs, better AI...

As soon as I get the retail version, I'm up for some TCP/IP / PBEM games!

Sirloin I chose a quick battle, 800 points, I think its 20 turns, Everything random except for Full Ammo.

I hope you get to pick a better setup than I did, For real I got crap. Guess I'll have to make do with what I got.

Sunking - play the GI Combat demo before you buy it.  So far, my opinion, and the overriding opinion of the people who have played it, is that it is complete toejam.  There are so many problems with camera, command, and AI that I was left with the feeling there was no possible way the people who made it had actually been involved in making Close Combat.  Biggest disappointment of the year. :(

It is a great game.  Those interested will also find our erstwhile friend, Hortlund, over on the battlefront.com BBS.
