Hi people,
I just stumbled upon this thread, and being the guy who created the software I thought I would drop by.
To tell the truth I do not normally venture too far away from boardgamegeek, but I will try to check this thread from time to time.
It seems like the questions about the product has been answered by now. It is basically a faithful recreation of the boardgame, "Lion" part only (so far, see below).
My aim was to facilitate playing the boardgame in a faster manner, allowing the user to spend his/her time on making important gameplay decisions rather than controlling the AI.
Do not get me wrong, controlling the AI is not necesarily a "bad" thing, but sometimes you just want to play a faster game, maybe to try out some strategy.
Yes, it is shipped as a CD-ROM. For what reason I honestly do not know. I am not involved in those decisions.
i hope the programmer Michael Olsen makes the Eagle version too real fast.
We are right now looking for beta testers of the Eagle version. I believe you can find an email address to contact here:
https://decisiongames.com/wpsite/whats-new/Currently the introductory scenario can be played, and the other scenarios should be added soon(-ish).
Please be aware that Eagle requires a larger screen than Lion. This is because where in Lion it made sense to move pieces on a digital version of the map, in Eagle you would be moving from one end of the map to the other a lot of the time. If you did not zoom in you could not see what you were doing, and if you did zoom in you could not access both ends of the map.
Therefore I opted to use more dialogs, but they tend to obscure the map beneath them (the map beneath is used as a reference for which areas to bomb etc.).
In any case, I wish you all good gaming, boardgame or pc-version.
