The original release was about as fun as watching paint dry.

Yes it was and their new Jagged Alliance will probably get the same treatment. At least they try to fix their game when other developers would just abandon them.

Yeah, and they're kind enough to ask you to pay for the fixes

They are a small developer with limited resources so they have to do anything to to survive. Many other developers have done the same thing over the years.

Should we condemn Jeff Vogel for his constant RPG remakes that cost $20.

I'm not condemning anyone. I'm simply not praising people because they're charging for what they do to make their games fun.

I guess I'm strange in that way.

Well I apologize if I was rude as I just woke up. Anyway I agree with what your saying, but I guess they have to pay the staff for more development time.

Space Hulk (the BG) drives the player into thinking the terminator squad as a unit.
Very often, due to the sequence of play in similar games, players tend to play one piece, resolve the actions and think the next actions to be given to the next piece.
This way of doing kills in SH.
You need to think of the squad as a synchronized unit.
When applied to the video game, thinking the moves of the terminators before moving them all as a whole, you'll see that their movement is timed to keep up with the requirements.

Don't worry about it, I don't take offence easily.

Besides, I know being a moderator can make posters seem extra trying at times, and I'm no walk in the park

This actually sounds interesting, might give it a try when the Backlogs empty... Sometime next year probably.

As for this Ascension Edition, it sounds pretty good. But it doesn't have multiplayer, does it? A boardgame adaption without multiplayer is like a man without a penis.
