The only mod I really want is the upcoming juju one. The rest are just slight enhancements, his one is in my opinion, essential.

When I read the review I read it the same way I read reviews on my dead sexy phone before I purchased it. Verizon's user reviews have a Pro and Con section for people to put comments into their reviews. Most people tended to but comments in both sections even when in love with their phones. I could tell you a dozen things I don't like about my phone but I LOVE the thing and recommend to everyone I talk to. I read the review that way but after seeing our boys comments can completely understand where he is coming from. YMMV.

Wow ACG, is that what you accept as a review!? It reads like an essay--"Frankly, they had me at hello." Or "..the CM x 2 engine, an amazing re-engineering of the system that kept whole what made the original games so special while adding more detail to almost every facet of the game." On second thought maybe it was a love letter.
Very little of it tells us much about the module (almost nothing new for the Syrians ...er... Germans) and almost nothing about game play--guess it has not been improved from the base game. Interesting that the review mentions only WeGo play--and not with any specifics. He loved the German campaign.
Finally the score assigned--96%. Really...with no improvements in game play (mentioned), limited implementations of Canadians and Poles that played like reskinned Brits. Plus: "There are literally dozens of quick battle maps available for scrimmages online and off, but viewing them before launching the game is a tedious affair. Enemy scripting in single-player missions can at times show poor AI. Did my two-man scout team really just take out an entire platoon of veteran infantry? Or was that platoon just stuck looking in the wrong direction for too long?" Taking only 1% off for each of these weaknesses gets me below 96%.
The module may be good (or not) but this review gives me diabetis.

That is like a book report that flew out of the window of 'the little yellow special schoolbus'. WHAt I done ThIS sUmmer with thIS cM.
But I bet Moon thinks he has done another great service to CM with posting that? I am really tempted to post an email trail I had with Moon. In Sales, the number one thing is 'Closing'. I have never seen such an 'Opener' as Moon. I mean, they basically HAD my money, but went out of the way to 'Not-Close'. I guess Moon never hasd been paid on commision and just gets extra bonus monies for posting links to 'reviews' like this???
I posted here because I thought I was among friends. I thought there might be some apathy or disinterest toward my product, and I was prepared for that. .... and you now go on my ignore list with no qualms. -Dorosh on his advertising
