I used to play lots of Sudden Strike, made me quite a few levels with the editor.

Rome total war is probably the best strategy out there, and its only £10 now. Its conventional but of a very, very high quality.

If you wanted something a little different, Homeworld 2 is nice. Its a space strategy game set in a 3D space environment. The original Homeworld one is still around as well and both are again £10 ish. The original has a better storyline (which is the best i’ve seen in a space game), but the second is more fun to play.

Lastly, all of the Command and Conquer; the first decade is now out. Its got the original CnC, Red alert, Renegade, Tibirian Sun and Generals, all with their expansion packs, its one of the best £30 you’ll ever spend.

The original Age of Empires, dated but fun, is out for a fiver these days.
The best space strategy i ever played is Pax Imperia: Eminet Domain. Its really old, but incredibly fun and addictive, and will always have a special place in my heart.

Well, I hope some of this helps, have fun!!!

By the way, Anna, good find! Its nice to see you spend your time wisely and not on silly distractions like the rest of us!!!v 😀 😀

i score 740!!!

Thats a good suggestion ChiCumRen, from a point of view of benefits to people of North Korea, but perhaps a better way would be if the N.Korean government were to be replaced with a pro-democracy one that would accept aid and advice from the interanational community, and attempt a period of reconciliation with the south, ultimately with an aim of reunification.

I know this scenario is highly unlikely, but I imagine the same was thought of east and west Germany thirty years ago.

Taiwan would never be allowed to buy a first strike capable aircraft, it would frighten the PRC too much.

Switzerland may well stay for the JSF if they can get deliveries in time. If they can’t then it will be either super hornets or one of the euro canards.

Finland’s F-18s are getting a little long in the tooth, but i suspect they will go for something cheaper than JSF, there isn’t much political will in Europe for expensive weapons systems.

Greece will buy something to counter the Turkish buy, as is the way with national rivalry, though whether Greece will decide on the JSF or just more F-16s or the Typhoon, we will have to see.

In any case, I have also noted the growing discontent in the UK and there is something else that i have a problem with that is not mentioned here.

I regard myself as English. I used to say British, but the changes that havew occured in the past decade have brought me to believe that the concept of being ‘British’ as a complete farce, i will explain why.

As a citizen of England, I get to vote for an MP to represent me in the parliament in London to vote on the nation’s issues. I have to pay to attend University and any treatment i recieve on the NHS is quality determined by my postcode.

However, if i were scottish I would get to vote for an MP for the scottish parliament (fair enough), but then i have another MP who can vote on the international decisions at westminster (again, fine) but who gets to vote on purely English donestic issues.
If i lived in Scotland the quality of my healthcare would be at a basic standard wherever i lived, whereas now there is a wide disparity between the health authorities in England.

Also, residents of Scotland do not have to pay for university education. Even though I carry the same passport, the law applies differently to me on grounds of nationality. i would be forced to pay if i went to university in Scotland, yet according to a recent news report if i came to study in Scotland from for example France, the fees do not apply!!!!!

I would not like to see the breakup of the United Kingdom, but the law and local government must be consistent across all nations of the union, with no nation showed preferential treatment or having power over the others. If we are to be one united kingdom, we need a single parliament that represents all nations at the same time and decides on the law for all of the nations of the UK.
