Ok - starting up a squadron of Dewoitine D-520's

On a side note - as everyone knows the French had quality hardware,
their main failing was in doctrine and fighting spirit. With me as CinC
I'll kick some German butt

Yeah, you can just buy them on the 'net - which is in sharp contrast
with every other wargame that ... uh, wait a sec ...

Another advantage is that you can't download the game and start playing
the moment you've paid for it - I much rather wait 2 weeks for the cd
to arrive in the mail, but maybe that's just me.

Seriously : the only advantage HPS has is that there are a certain
amount of wargamers out there who don't have the time or the
inclination to learn a new engine/game system every couple of months
and are happy to stick to the engine they know - HPS releasing scenario
packs for them every couple of months is what keeps these gamers happy
- nothing wrong with that - it's a good business if there are enough of
them to keep you afloat.

And if they can make the occasional title that appeals to people who
aren't really a fan of the system, but are interested in the subject
covered they can make some additional sales.

Greetz,
